The Danish claims, as they are usually termed, were once more brought under the consideration of the house, by Mr. CRESSWELL, in the shape of an address to the Crown, for compensation. A discussion of some length took place, the following points being those chiefly relied upon by the speak ers on either side of the question. By the advocates of the claimants, who are British merchants, whose ships and pro perty on board were seized by the Danes, by way of repr6al for the injuries inflicted upon them in the attack on Copen hagen, it was contended that there had been no regular de. claration of war by this Government against Denmark--that the claimants, therefore. had no notice to enable them to es. cape the destruction of their vessels ; that, in point of fact, a sum of X 1,200,030, or more, had been derived from the confiscation of Danish property, which should have been ap propriated to make up the claimants' losses • " that a portion es of book debts as,there- it only a v-- HOUSE OF LORDS The house did not meet yesterday HOUSE OF COMMON Lord INGEST of the borough of Si.

Ac cording to the time fixed upon the expedition would arrive at tife most unhealthy season of the year at the mouth of the Niger. He was aware that the reason assigned for this was, that it was only in the rainy season that the river would be sufficiently deep to enable the expedition to pass into the in terior of the country. He was not satisfied that they were acting upon certain data in thus delaying the expedition, while they were incurring the certainty of a positive evil in arriving at the most fatal season i❑ the year. ' Under these circumstances he thought it right to call the attention of the government to the propriety of changing the time of sailing of the expedition, or of employing it as an exploring expedi tion until the unhealthy season should have passed away. The noble lord concluded by moving for the correspondence upon the subject of the Niger expedition. Mr. M. O'FEaltALt said it was at first supposed that Oc tober was the best month for the sailing of the expedition, but further information than was in the possession of the go vernment at that time, convinced them that in the dry sea son the river was not ❑avigable, and that it was better to proceed so as to arrive at the only period when vessels of any size could go up the Niger. In reply to a question from Mr. II UME. _ _ at wlaw Mr. iT:SmiTii said the object of the expedition was, to teach the natives of Africa the principles of commerce, with a view of by that means of abolishing the slave-trade. Every attention had been paid to the preservation of the lives of the persons going out in this expedition. The noble lord (In gestrie) only moved, doubtless, for the papers, with the view of raising the discussion, and had no wish that they should be produced, to which production there w 4.3 an objection. Lord INGESTRC assented. Mr. WARBURTON said that the information in possesion of the government was wholly disproportioned to the mag nitude of the object in contemplation. MR. O'CONNELL said that no money was ever expended in a holier object than that which was voted for fitting ont this expedition, which was the emanation of one of the most brilliant public meetings last year that had ever been held in the metropolis —a meeting which he had reason to remember, as being the only one he had ever attended as a silent auditor. Mr. HUNIE contended that the government was in ignor ance of the difficulties the expedition would have to encoun ter ; that they would, therefore, do no good, and might do mischief, and all the money would be thrown away. Mr. HAWES contended that there was ample upon which to proceed. Lord INGESTRIE, in reply, said, that Sir F. stated that it was the intention that this expedition 2,500 miles into the interior of the country ; but the captain of the Ethiope, who had gone up the river about 500 miles stated that he had there met with insurmountable objects, Sir C. ADAM said that "- which they mister " nformation Burton had should go ~i,ere were tributary streams up Le to proceed, if not up the one where the Ethiope was stopped Lord INGESTRIE then withdrew ti ed leave to bring in a bill to in Scotland, after which 012 The LORD ADVOCATE obti amend the registration of vote house adjourned.

SLAVES IN TIIE BItAZILS.—Of this class of slaves, both the men and women are remarkably stubborn, impatient, and proud, but industrious and very aspiring. So proud they are, that it is said, they will rather suffer death than endure any undue - castigation. Many of them have been known to kill themselves when imprisoned, and deprived of other means, by turning inward the end of the tongue in such a manner, as to choke themselves to death. One instance oc curred not long before our arrival. A stern Mina slave had been threatened with a severe punishment, and managed to attempt his escape into the water. He had proceeded far out towards a resting place, before he was discovered and nearly overtaken by the boat of his pursuers. He then im mediately plunged beneath the waves and endeavoured to hold himself beneath by a rock, till death might release him ; two or three times his hold was disengaged, by the prying oars of those above him, and as often he regained it ; but when nearly drowned, his strength relaxed, and he was taken to the shore to suffer his tortures in aggravated degrees. It is from this class of slaves, that many rise to freedom and prosperity, and their young successors are the principal guards of the empire. DEATH.—Death, which hateth and deztroveth man, is b e li eve d ; God, which bath made him and loves him, is al ways deferred. It was death which opened the conscience of Chaa - les V., made him enjoin his son Philip to restore Na varre ; and King Francis I. of Prance, to command that justice should be done upon the murderers of the Protestants in Merindol and Cabrieres, which till then he neglected. It is therefore death alone that can suddenly make man to know himself. He tells tie proud and insolent that they are but abjects, and humbles them at the instant, makes th em cry, complain, and repent, yea, even to hate their forepast happi ness. He takes the account of the rich and proves him a beggar, a naked beggar, which bath interest in nothing but the gravel that fills his mouth. He holds a glais before the eyes of the most beautiful, and makes him see therein their deformity and rottenness, and they acknowledge it. _ Oh, eloquent, just, a n d m i g hty d ea th ! w h om none could advise, thou haat persuaded ; what none bath d a red, thou hast done ; and whom all the svorld hath flattered, thou only bath cast out of the world, and despised : thou hast drawn together all the far-stretched greatness, all the pride, cruelty, and ambi tion of man, anti covered it over with these two narrow wards, Hu herr.—pr Waller Raleigh.

Saturday, 27, at Tnesday, March 2, at Thursday, 4, at Friday, 5, at Saturday, 6, at SPORTING INTELLIGENCE MANCHESTER-TUESDAY EVENING THE MAHOGANY DUTIES The diminished importation of African teak, when viewed in connexion with the present high duties on its substitute, Honduras mahogany, is a subject of serious importance. A few facts will show this conclusively. The average importa tion into Liverpool of African teak, during the fourteen years from 1825 to 1838, to the Ist of February in each year, was 124,583 feet ; in 1839, the importation was only 87,832 feet ; in 1.840, only 62,174 feet; and for the year ending the Ist of February, 1841, it was but 21,800; and the present stock is only 8,900 feet. The importation of Honduras mahogany against the same periods has been, in logs, 1,639, 3,000, 2,604, and 1,720. The trade in Honduras mahogany is at present in a most depressed state ; this is attributable to two causes ; one to the high duty, which checks demand, at a time when the im portations are large; the other is the withdrawal of the cus toms, bill of last session, which proposed a reduction of 15s. per ton. The effect of that withdrawal was to give the whole of the contemplated reduction to the consumers, and to leave the importer to suffer from the continuance of the high duty and decreased value. The importations into Liverpool of St. Domingo mahogany, during the last three years, partially show the effect of the present duty. For the year ending Ist February, 1839, the importation of the former wood was 7035 logs ; for 1840, 6340 feet; for 1811. 5617. But these figures do riot show the ex . tent of the evil effects. A considerable portion of even this diminished importation is not consumed in this country ; it is exported, duty free, to Hamburg, there manufactured into furniture, and re-imported to this country for sale, on the payment of a duty much less than what our own cabinet maker pays on his raw material. A quotation from the trade circular of a respectable Liverpool house, just published, will elucidate the fact: " St. Domingo mahogany.—The import in the past year is less than the previous one by 283,000 feet, and the stock is also less by 195,000 feet, the present stock being only 165,000 feet, against 350,000 feet held in Febru ary, 1840. The consumption 700,192 feet, exceeds that of the previous year by 112,000 feet; and this would be satis , if it evidenced an increased consumption of this ar- our own manufacturers; but, unfortunately, the ,ntrary is the case, the whole of the excess, and a large por _Ades, being caused by an increased export to the Continent, where the foreign manufacturer is enabled, by his freedom from high import duties. successfully to compete with our native manufacturers, and undersell them in their own markets at home and abroad."—London Journal of commerce. SIR ASTLEY COOPER After receiving the usual rudiments of education, he en• tered on his medical career under an apothecary of Yar• mouth, but was in a few months transferred to the care o his uncle, a surgeon of Guy's Hospital, in London, and ul• timately passed over to Mr. Clide, the most eminent practi. tioner of the day. After serving an apprenticeship and " walking the hospi tals" for the usual period, he entered on practice, but at first with little success, as the whole of his fees for twelve months did notexceed £5, and severalyears elapsed before his emolu ment amounted to the salary of a fashionable footman. Sir Astley no sooner emerged from obscurity, than his practice rapidly became eminently great, and more lucrative than any recorded in the annals of medicine. For nearly forty years his receipts averaged between £lO,OOO and £15,000 annually, and in one year (1822) exceeded 20,000 guineas. The fees he received were very large; an instance of which may be mentioned in the case of an eccentric publican in the city, whom he attended some years ago. During several weeks Sir Astley had daily called without receiving the slightest re muneration ; but on completing the cure, he was presented with the nightcap of the patient, in which, on examining, was found a thousand pound bank note ; and many equally hand some fees were paid him, as, when in the zenith of his fame, persons came from all parts of the world for his advice. For this success Sir Astley was mainly indebted to his own personal advantages. With intellectual powers considerably above mediocrity, his manly figure, graceful manners, invari able good humour and bonhommie, procured him an opportu nity for the display of his abilities, and this he was fortu nately enabled to improve. His success was owing to a happy construction of opportunity with ability, without which a man rarely , becomes eminent. Sir Astley was, from an early period of his career, attached as a lecturer and surgeon to the borough hospitals. Formerly he lectured at St. Thomas's, and attracted a class of several hundreds, which, after he left it, dwindled rapidly down to a few dozen. Latterly he was consulting surgeon to Guy's, and rarely extended his remarks beyond a few sentences at the bedside of his patient, intermingled with no small share of agreeable yet instructive gossip. As a lecturer he was a flu ent though by no means a correct speaker. As an operator he has rarely been equalled, and as a consulting surgeon never surpassed. _ In personal appearance Sir Astley was one of the finest looking men of the age, greatly resembling, when in his prime, the lamented Duke of Kent, and latterly bearing a strong similitude to the bold and bluff Duke of York. His good-humoured countenance was but an index of his innate disposition. He was, perhaps, the only member of a quar relsome craft that passed through life without a single colli sion with a contemporary. The only failing he had, if it may be so termed, was an inordinate attachment to his pro fession. Several years ago he abandoned practice, and with drew to his country seat in Hertfordshire ; but soon became so wretched from inaction, that after, it is said, ineffectually soliciting permission to operate on the paupers of a neigh bouring poor-house, he was forced, by the strength of habit, to return to town and his old pursuits, amputating a limb occasionally for his amusement. The complaint of which he died was effusion on the chest, occasioned by an affection of the heart, of the existence of which disease he had for some time entertained a presenti ment. The first serious symptom he experienced was walk ing to church at Strathfieldsaye with his grace the Duke of Wellington, vs ho had honoured him with a large measure of his regard and confidence, and for whom Sir Astley enter tained the deepest respect and esteem. Among the consol ing incidents of his last illness were the affectionate inquiries made by his grace personally in Conduit-street. His suffer ings were not acute, though his breathing was much oppress ed, and .his rest much disturbed by a troublesome cough. He gradually became weaker, until death found him calm and resigned. (From the Times.) A remarkable anecdote is recorded of this late eminent surgeon, which, fortunately for science and mankind, led the way to the general extension of that skill and ability which has so largely benefitted both. A boy was thrown from a cart in young Cooper's presence, and wounded in the femoral artery. Great hemorrhage en sued. Cooper immediately went to his relief, and, with great presence of mind, instantly made his handkerchief into a tournequet, and applied it so scientifically to the thigh, as to effectually succeed hi stopping the further flow of blood, which would otherwise in a few minutes have proved fatal. Sir A. Cooper has been often heard to declare that the men tal gratification which resulted from having thus saved the life of a fellow creature inspired him at one with an almost romantic desire to become a surgeon. The following circumstance co'nuected with this period o Sir Astley Cooper's life may be relied on, it having beer the writer of this memoir by a gentleman who- held an official appointment about the court at the time :—George IV. had a small tumour in the scalp, and, after much consultation, an operation for,its removal was re solved upon, and Sir Astley Cooper was selected to perform it. On the day appointed Sir Astley waited upon his ma jesty. Lurd Liverpool and several of the cabinet ministers occupied a room adjoining that in which the king was. A short period before the operation was commenced Sir Astley was noticed to be pale and nervous. Lord Liverpool ob serving his anxiety, and knowing how important it was that the operation should be performed with celerity and skill, approached S!r Astley, and, taking hold of his hand, said, " You ought to recollect that this operation either makes you or ruins you. Courage, Sir Astley." The timely rebuke of Lord Liverpool had the effect of recalling to Cooper's mind the responsible situation in which he was placed, and almost instantly every appearance of anxiety vanished from his countenance, and he performed the operation with his usual skill. Sir Astley's fees amounted in one year to £21,000, and for a long period he was in the receipt of £15,000 per annum. His house used to be regularly besieged every morning by patients anxious to consult him. A patient bad to wait for three or four days before be could obtain an interview with the surgical veteran. It is said that his servant made an in come of £6OO a-year in fees received from patients for ob taining for theni an admission before their time. The fcllowing instance of good fortune may be mentioned ; A gentleman of the name of Steer consulted Sir Astley, and, having received his advice, departed without giving the usual fee. Sir Astley. took no notice of this circumstance, and gave his assistance to him cheerfully, under the impression that the patient was a person who had been reduced in circum stances. Shortly afterwards Sir Astley received a note ac quainting him that on going to the Stock Exchange be (Mr. Steer) found that he had some omnium that he had not dis posed of, and that he had taken the liberty of putting £3OOO of it in his (Sir Astley's) name; and finding that it bad soon after risen, he took the further liberty of selling it for him, and now senthim the difference, which was £62 10s. Sir Astley Cooper is said to have died immensely rich. His nephews, Mr. Aston Key and Mr. Bransby Cooper, sur geons of Guy's Hospital, were Sir Astley's Pupils, and t o these gentlemen, it is supposed, the bulk of his fortune and practice will descend. ECCLESIASTICAL NOTICES.—The following ordinations have been appointed : The Bishop of Bath and Wells, Wells, March 7. The Bishop of Peterborough, Peterborough, March 7. The Bishop of Salisbury, Salisbury, March 7. The Bishop of Lincoln, Lincoln March 14. The Bishop of 'Winchester, Farnham, July 11. The Bishop of Winchester intends holding the fourth per sonal visitation of his diocese in the course of the present year. His lordship will hold a series of oonfuraetions at the ettme time, A YOUNG JACK SHEPPARD.—James Williams, a boy of about fifteen years of age, was committed to Warwick gaol last week, for robbing the till of a shopkeeper at Erdington. During the short time that he was in the custody of the po lice-officer, previous to his removal to Warwick, he contrived to file off his irons, and was in the act of filing the bars of the windows of the room in which he was detained, when the po lice-officer returned for the purpose of removing him. Intelligence has been received at the coast-guard station at Howe, that one of the preventive service men during the late inclement weather had been frozen to death on his post a short distance from Worthing. The poor fellow had gone into a hut by the sea side to shelter himself, where no doubt the intense cold drew him to sleep, and he was found dead in the morning. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday afternoon last, James Barrow, butcher, of Staining, near Poulton, put an end to his existence, by hanging himself with a rope, on the stairs rail of his house. It is supposed poverty is the cause of this rash act. His wife was from home. He was found hanging by a neighbour, who cut the rope, but the vital spark became extinct in about ten minutes afterwards. The deceased was about 70 years of age.—Preston Chronicle. ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION.—We understand that a petition is preparing against the return of Lord Listowell, and that it will be presented to the House of Commons immediately after the noble lord takes the oaths and his seat. THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—The answer to the numerous inquiries in Bruton-street this morning was, " The Lord Chancellor is rather worse to-day." We understand the noble and learned lord is not confined to his bed, and that Dr. Chambers is of opinion the indisposition under which his lordship is labouring arises from having caughta violent cold. —Standard, Thursday. It is whispered, amid the echoes of the mountains of Le banon, that the son-in-law of the gallant Commodore Napier is about to be `• spliced " to one of the houris of the east, a daughter of the Prince of Lebanon. This toward event will consolidate the Anglo-Turkish alliance. SUPPOSED Loss OF THE HEROINE.—This vessel, for which fears have been entertained for her safety, has atlast been heard of. The Glasgow Courierreports her having arrived at Batavia since our last advices from thence. The Heroine sailed from China about the 26th June last, bound to Batavia and Lon don; not having arrived at Batavia, after allowing her a very long passage, she was supposed to have been lost, and so strong was this supposition that £4O. per cent. was refused upon her insurance. STEAM BETWEEN ENGLAND AND THE WEST" INDIES. —An act entitled " An Act to promote and encourage Steam Navigation between Barbadoes, Great , Britain, and other places," has unanimously passed the Legislative Council and General Assembly of Barbadoes. It provides a very liberal encouragement to all vessels employed in carrying the mails between the island and Great Britain, and between it and the neighbouring islands. Such steam vessels are to be per mitted to anchor in the port of Carlisle Bay, and to depart therefrom free of all duties and fees in the same manner as the government steamers now are. All vessels importing coals for the steamers shall be exempt from all tonnage and other fees. This liberality for the encouragement of steam navigation is worthy of imitation.—London Journal of Com merce. The Suabian Mercury, under date the 28th ult., states that the Austrian army was on its full war footing. At a moment's notice the Austrian government could bring into the field 300,000 men and 600 pieces of cannon. The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Frankfort, stating that the Austrian government was about to borrow 40,000,000 or 50,000,000 florins of the houses of Rothschild and Bethmann, but it would appear the statement was not correct. A bank ing -house of Frankfort having sent to St Petersburg a large sum in gold, the agiso had increased 31 per cent. OPPOSITION TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S POOR-LAW AMENDMENT BlLL.—Numerous meetings, both in the me tropolis and in the country, have already taken place, to get up petitions against this unpopular bill. Amongst the most numerously attended in London have been those in the parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, the parish of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, and the parish of St. George the Martyr, Southwark. At Brighton, also, there has. been a very large meeting for the same purpose, and we doubt not these ex amples will be followed throughout the country. A CLERGYMAN KILLED.—A fatal accident occurred at Cavenham on Saturday last. A party of five gentlemen were shooting on the estate of Mr. H. S. Waddington, M.P., when, at the conclusion of the day, the gun of one of them went off whilst he was in the act of uncoking it, and the whole of the charge was lodged in the knee of the Rev. H. Cholmeley, who had stepped across to look at a bird which another of the party had remarked was a red-legged one. Every attention was paid to the unfortunate gentleman ' •but he expired early on S un d ay morn i ng. T he deceased was rector of Troston, in this county, between 50 and 60 years of age, and unmarried.—Bury Post. - - It is stated that measures are being taken by the govern ment to ascertain the number of Jesuits located throughout Ireland, The society of Jesuits is an illegal one ; their pro ceedings are known to be directed against the spread of true religion and the liberties of mankind—yet the miserable go vernment of this country, acting upon the peremptory orders of the vagabond O'Connell, has neither the virtue nor the courage to exercise the power with which the law has invested it. THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.-It is with deep feelings of disgust that we are obliged to acquaint our readers with the fact that her Majesty's government have expressed their in tention, through Viscount Melbourne, of allo*ing the dis putes of the Church of Scotland to be arranged in the law courts, and of abstaining from all legislative interference. This is a worthy resolve of the " do-nothing" Cabinet ! Here is a quarrel, which threatens to split the whole fabric of the Scotch Presbyterian Church in pieces, and which threatens, in fact, the very existence of that church. No matter; ministers do not intend to interfere at all in the question, which they leave to settle itself. This conduct is quite worthy of them. It is expected that the newly appointed Romish Bishop of the Northern District, Dr. Mostyn, will make Newcastle upon-Tyne his final place of residence. At present his lord. ship, as the reverend gentleman is foolishly, and illegally termed by his adherents, is located at Ushaw College, near Durham. The Clerical Institution at St. Bees, of which the Rev. R. P. Buddicom, M.A., is the principal, at present numbers 45 students on the books. The gentlemen at this establishment have been ordered by the new Superintendent to wear caps and gowns the same as those in use at Oxford and Cambridge, which give them a very clerical appearance. NISI Pains COURT, DUBLIN, THURSDAY.—CASSIDY v. MAGUIRE.—This case was settled by the defendant's giving a plea of confession for £llO. The action had been brought by the plaintiff to recover the amount of his bill for reporting for the defendant the discussion which took place between him and the Rev. Mr. Gregg. BEAUMARIS.—The recent easterly gales have caused con siderable damage to the quays and embankments, and com pletely destroyed the beautiful promenade around the Green. The intense frost has also caused a severe loss to the oyster beds, probably to an amount not less than £2OOO. Great numbers of the poor Irish oystermen have by this means lost all their stock-in-trade. About 30 or 40 of them are now entirely out of employment. We regret to state that the heavy gales of Friday and Saturday week have caused exten sive damage among the shipping at Port Penrhyn. Many of the vessels have dragged their anchors, drifted on the rocks, or run foul of each other, the intense cold having nearly crippled their crews, whose clothes became incrusted with ice as the spray dashed over them. The shrouds and sails were frozen in like manner.—Chester Courant. AN END OF BOY SWEEPS.—By an act of last session, it was enacted that from and after the Ist of January, 1841, a penalty of not more than £lO, nor less than £5, is impo s ed on all persons who shall compel or knowingly allow any young person under 21 years of age, to ascend any chimney for the purpose of sweeping, or extinguishing fire. It also forbids chimney sweepers employing any person under the age of sixteen years, whether as an apprentice or otherwise, and im poses the same penalty for the violation of this prohibition. To relieve chimney sweepers of their apprentices, and other children, whom they employ, they must turn them over to the officers of the parish in which the employer resides, and that such apprentices or children are to be considered as set tled in such parish. Policemen are to apprehend all chimney sweepers' boys, and send them to the workhouse. One shilling to be paid them for their trouble. THE BRINDLE WILL CAUSE.—MIDDLETON AND EAST WOOD, V. SHERBOURNE, BRIGGS, YOUEN, AND OTHERS. —On Thursday this case was' again brought on in the Ex chequer Court, before Lord Abinger. Mr. Bethell addressed the court on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Sherbourne, and went into a history of his connexion with the late Mr. Heatley. He contended that the circumstances all went to show that his client had not exercised an undue influence and controul over that gentleman, by means of which he had in duced him to do acts which were inconsistent with those of a person of sound mind. Mr. Walker followed on the same side. Mr. Simpkinson replied. Lord Abinger said he would take home the affidavits and read them, and would give timely notice when he was prepared to deliver judgment. MURDER AT MEXBRO', NEAR DONCASTER.—A cruel murder has taken place at Mexbro', within the last few days, and of which we are enabled to give the following particu lars :—The deceased's name is Ann Seorah, a widow, 62 years of age, who resided in a house near the Don Pottery. On the night of the 28th of January, some persons were heard to say they would have a spree with the old woman, and they then began to throw stones at her door and win dows, breaking several panes of glass. The deceased went out with an old gun, thinking to highten them away. The gun, which was without a lock, was taken from her by the two men, whose names are Wm. Hepworth and George Eastwood, the latter a resident at Mexbro', and who then, having forced their way into her house, beat her with the gun over the head and body so severely, that she lingered from that time until Tuesday last, when she died from the effects of the wounds. She was attended by Mr. Blytbam, surgeon, the whole of the time. The inquest was held on Wednesday, the 10th instant, before Thomas Badger, Esq., and a highly respectable jury, at Swinton, when, after the ex amination of several witnesses, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Wm. Hepworth and George East wood. They are committed to York to take their trial at the ensuing assizes.--Leeds Intelligences. CASE OF POISONING.—A melancholy case of sudden death occurred in St. Nicholas' Church Yard in this town, on Sunday se'nnight, the circumstances attending which may be briefly related :—Mrs. Galloway, wife of Mr. Thomas Galloway, being very unwell on Sunday afternoon, her hus band sent two of their children to the shop of Mr. Tinn, chemist, with a paper, on which was written " tincture of rhubarb, six drachms." They got what was supposed to be tincture of rhubarb, in a cup they carried for the purpose ; and it was given to Mrs. Galloway. The deceased remarked after she had swallowed the dose that " she was much mis taken if it was not lauda nr. m " ou T th h , e a h n u d s h b e an t d old dr t a h i e n j e u d ry t h h e e dregs in the cup into h thought they tasted like laudanlim, but concluded it might be some preparation in tincture of rhubarb with which he was not acquainted. Mrs. Galloway soon turned extremely ill, and surgeons were sent for. Every effort to save the de ceased was unavailing, and she expired in the evening. Mr. Dawson, surgeon, found the cup to have contained lauda num ; and he proved to the jury that the death of the de ceased had been occasioned by that poison. Mr. G. T. Tinn made a voluntary statement to the jury. He said he recol lected a little girl bringing a paper on Sunday afternoon, on which was written tincture of rhubarb. He felt confident in his own mind that he gave her tincture of rhubarb. The laudanum bottle, to prevent mistakes, stood at the end of a shelf next the window, and the bottle containing the tincture of rhubarb was four bottles from it.—The coroner briefly addressed the jury, stating his opinion that the event was owing to an unfortunate mistake, and he thought they would be stretching the law too far if they returned a verdict of manslaughter. The jury, after a consultation of ab ou t h a lf an hour, found " that the deceased had died from the effects of laudanum administered by mistake." With this verdict p t h li e ca f t ri io en n ds of to the t h m e a d g e i c s e t r a a s t ed es were fora i f i n o r t th sa e t r i satisfied, and es , tigati o m n d w e h a io p i; took place on Tuesday last. The witnesses who gave evidence at the inquest were re-examined, without, however, eliciting u lta ltim thing ately disposed further'o of the or of acomntauer, contrary ana h tyuredlarig that . ee The n .magistr t a h t e e y s b were of opinion that the evidence which had been brought them did not justify the committal of any one for triu l . - --Naicaftle Journal. PARIS AND ROUEN RAILWAY.--We bear that Mr. Bras sey, the great railway contractor, has taken the contract for the whole at the line at £1,000,000 sterling, and that he has given the whole lining and planting of the bridges and slopes to our townsman, Mr. Rogers. :- -Southampton Independent. THE MARTYRS' MEMORIAL AT OXFORD.-Mr. Kirk, architect and builder, of Sleaford, is the fortunate competitor for the erection of this noble monument. The design is very light and elegant, a sexagon gothic cross, after the manner of Waltham and Geddington, with the effigies of the Bishops Latimer, Cranmer, and Ridley, in the second story. A beau tiful shaft of fretted-work rises from the pinnacles to the height of 72 feet, and the whole is surmounted with a cross. The inscription appears on the basement story, which is ap proached by a flight of steps. The Bolsover stone has been selected, and the work will be completed in the course of the summer. GENERAL TURN-OUT OF HATTERS.—For some time past many of the hat manufacturers at Oldam, Denton, and Ash ton-under-Lyne, have carried on a system of having the smaller sizes of men's hats made at the same price as youths': —this plan has been considered equivalent to a reduction of wages. On Monday week a general meeting of the hatting operatives was held at Manchester, when it was resolved to cease from working until the employers consented to discon tinue the making of youths' size of hats, and confined them selves to two descriptions only,—men's and boys'. The journeymen hatters of Ashton-under-Lyne, Oldham, Man chester, Denton, and the vicinities, amounting to upwards of 7000 in number, struck work on Tuesday morning. SUPPOSED MURDER AT BANTRY.—On Saturday last, after the tide had ebbed out of Bantry harbour, the body of a fe male was found near the Reenrour side. When brought on shore, it was recognised to be that of an unfortunate Cyprian, Peggy Cbhane. There appeared to be several contused wounds on the head, and other parts of the body ; and her petticoat, shoes and cloak, were missing. These circum stances, connected with her having been seen in suspicious company at a late hour the previous night, caused strong suspicions that her fate was not accidental. Her body has been placed in the Court House, where an inquest was to have been held yesterday.—Limerick Standard. I WEATHER ALxr Azincx.—Mr. Grim s to ne , th e i nven t or o f the celebrated Eye Snuff has published, for gratuitous circu lation, a very useful conipendium of matter of fact under the title of a Weather Alrnatre i the Merits of which are not in correctly described in the Mllowing letter :—" Sir,—Having paid attention to the variations of the weather as described in Grimstone's Almanac pp to the 23d of January, I cannot but express my astonishment at its general correctness. This little work, too, abounds in useful matter, comprising infor mation for merchants and commercial men —farmers', gra ziers', and gardeners' calendars—an article on house ventila tion and cleanliness ; the whole interspersed with authenti cated letters to Mr. Grimstone from parties who have experi enced the benefit of his invaluable mixture.—LOOKEß ON." HOAX EXTRAORDINARY.—On Monday evening a spright ly wag, well known as the " Helston Pocket Volume of Fun and Frolic," raised a report there that the Duke of Saxe Coburg, father of Prince Albert, had been driven by stress of weather into St. Michael's Mount, and would pass through Helston about ten o'clock, on his way to London. This in telligence, which soon reached every ear, was apparently confirmed by the fact of eight horses having been ordered at the inn precisely at that hour. Long before the appointed hour, a crowd of persons of all descriptions took their sta tions at the inn door, where, in spite of the intense cold, they remained eagerly awaiting the arrival of the illustrious visitor. The entrance to the inn was lighted with wax tapers ; the waiting-maids sported their richest ringlets and fur be lows, and the post-boys exhibited their " buffs," while mine host himself was busily engaged in inspecting and superin tending all the necessary arrangements in-doors and out. Many of the town-council, too, graced the scene with their presence, and the band enlivened it with its animated strains. At length there arrived a certain man of law and letters dele gated to present a congratulitory address to the illustrious stranger, which address he then and there proceeded to read to the bystanders. This display, however, was cut short by cries of " he's coming, h e ' s com i ng ;" and p resent l y a f ter two carriages and four appeared. The band struck up " See the Conquering Hero comes," followed by " God save the Queen ;" the crowd uncovered stood in breathless anxiety : the learned delegate approached, but was dumb founded, when instead of her majesty's royal consort, he en countered only the guard of the Malta mail.—Cornwall Ga zette. DARING BURGLARY AT MOSBRO' NEAR SHEFFIELD.— We have this week to record a burglary attended witippecu- Early aggravating circumstances. Elizabeth Gilbert and Mary Bradshaw, two aged sisters, living together at M os b ro ' in the parish of Eckli ng t on , - and a respectable individual named Keaton, who is upwards of SO, and lodges under the same roof, are the sufferers. The females slept in a room to gether, and Mr. Keaton in a room underneath. Between one and two o'clock on the morning of Saturday week, Mrs. Gilbert and her sister were alarmed by the entrance into their room of two men, each having a candle in one hand, and a large knife in the other. On the instant of their en tering, the men (who were not disguised by masks) ex claimed " 'Where is it? Where is it? Where is your money ?"—and immediately proceeded up to the side of the bed, and demanded the keys, which the affrighted women handed to them. Having again demanded to know where the money was kept, Mrs. Bradshaw directed them to a desk in an adjoining room ; one of the robbers then left the room, and the other kept guard over the females, threatening that if they made the least noise he would murder them. After ransacking the desk, the man with the keys returned to the bed-room, and requested Mrs. Gill to s h ow hi m th e k ey t h at would unlock a large chest, which was also ransacked. The keys were then returned to the owners; and the men, after threatening to return and murder them if they gave an alarm, left the room. While this was going forward in the female's room, a no less singular, but less terrifying scene was being played in Mr. Keaton's apartment. When the door leadin to the females' room was opened* one of them exclaimed,g " William !" and this awoke Mr. Keaton, who rose, and was surprised to hear a man say,. " You must lie down again, else you will disturb them up stairs." Mr. Keaton know ing that Mrs. was not in good health, asked, " Is the doctor come? for I know a person is ill up stairs." The robber replied, " Oh, no ! but you must keep still, or you will disturb them up stairs." Mr. Keaton rejoined, " But I want to get up ;" and the man answered, " But I tell you, you must lie still." The other parties then came down stairs, and the whole left the house, The robbers stole a valuable silver watch, about £4 in money, a gun, and other articles. It is supposed the thieves had a light cart with them.—Doncaster Gazette. • HORRIBLE FRATRICIDE IN FRANCE.--011 the evening of the Ist February, as an old man of the name of Septier, and his wife, residing in the department of the Orne, were re tiring to rest, they beard some• dreadful screams at a dis tanm The screams soon became more distinct, and a man rushed up to their door, which he endeavoured in vain to open, exclaiming, " Help, help ! Murder, murder ! Father Septier, open, in God's name! lam 'Verdier, of Planche ! This appeal remained without effect ; the old couple, almost frightened to death, (Septier is 78 years old) durst not open the door. When the first moment of terror had subsided, Mrs. Septier took her grand-daughter up into the loft and concealed her under some bundles of hay, then hastened be low, and by a chink in her cellar door, endeavoured to ascer tain what was going on. The moon was shining bright, and threw her li g ht on a m ost atroci ous scene. A man was lying on the ground: moaning occasionally, while a brute, armed with a long sharp instrument, was beating him most unmer cifully. This barbarous behaviour lasted about a quarter of an hour, at which time the assa ss i n, conv i nce d t h at hi s vic tim was dead, hurried away from the fatal spot. Heavy suspicion fell on the brother of the deceased, from many remarkable circumstances, and since the fatal deed he has absconded. DREADFUL ACCIDENT FROM FIRE AT SOUTH SHIELDS. — An inquest was held at South Shields, on Monday last, on the body of Sarah Maddison, aged 8 years. It appears that the deceased lived with her mother, her aum, three sisters, and a brother, in a small room, in a court, near the Bottle works, South Shields. Their principal employment was to pick or tease oakum. Before the family went to bed on Fri day night, the oakum they had been busy that day with was hung about the room and spread on the floor, for the purpose of being dried, so that it might be delivered to their employer the next day. About 5 o'clock on Saturday morning one of the girls got up to make the tire, and again retired to bed. It is supposed a spark from the fire had ignited the oakum, as shortly afterwards the family were alarmed by tire. On rushing from their beds, they found the room all in a flame, and in the confusion they could not find the key of the door. Some minutes elapsed before the neighbours were alarmed, and able to break open the door, when they found the whole of the family severely burnt. Medical aid was immediately procured, and through the kindness of Mr. Martin, the agent at the Bottl e - wor k s , a room was procured, to which the family was removed, when every means was used to mitigate their sufferings. The deceased lingered till 8 o'clock on Sun day evening, when she died. Three others of the children are not expected to recover. The fire was speedily put out, no damage being done, except to the furniture in the room. Verdict—Accidental death.—port of Tyne Herald. THE WEATHER IN THE NORTIL—We have had a renewal of the January storm, although not with the same intensity of frost. Since Monday week there has been a keen north east wind blowing with occasional but slight showers of snow. Fortunately the Great Highland road was cut through immediately previous, and the snow being now completely hardened, the track has not since filled up, and the Inver ness mail coach runs thrrufgh daily-, and, with the occasional assistance of an extra pair of leaders, keeps time, or nearly so. So completely had the communication been interrupted, that for four weeks not a single carriage had passed either Edington or the County March toll-bar ; and the consequent loss to the toll.keepers must have been great, but we pre sume the trustees will take their case into liberal considera tion. In the Lowlands, curling forms the chief country work ; farmers fear, however, that this renewed storm will prove more injurious to winter wheat than the former, it now having little or no protection by snow.—Perth Courier. There is a, vessel only waiting for fair winds to leave this country on a perfectly novel mission. The Hector, Captain Robert Freeman, is under engagement to convey Mr. Bar clay, the Agent-General for Jamaica, to Sierra Leone, in order to offer to the na ti ves o f Africa a passage to th e Westi Indies as free emigrants, and so to participate in the advan tages, without the pai ns , a l rea dy enjoyed by their co un t ry . men who have left their native land as slaves. They are to be quite unfettered by engagemenss before embarcation, and free to choose their . own employers and make their own terms on reaching their new borne. To them the change from a barbarous to a comparatively civilised country must be beneficial. To those who look beyond the surface, this commencement of an African emigration, which may one day supersede the slave-trade throughout the world, will give no common gratification. Mr. Barclay may be proud to be the first Englishman w h o t a kes a ship on su c h a Voyage. The Hector had already begun her voyage, with Mr. Barclay on board, when adverse winds drove her back to Sheerness, having lost a windlass and anchor, on Thursday last. She awaits the repair o f thi s acc id en t to set out a gain. —L ee d s Intelligeneer. THE MURDER NEAR R U TIIIN.—INQUEST.—OR Mon day week, the coroner for the county of Denbigh, Robert Nicholls, Esq., held an inquest at the hOuse of Mr. Owens, of Tavern Dowyrch, near Llandegala, in the hundred of Yale, on the body of Evan Evans, late under gamekeeper to Edward Lloyd, Esq., o f Rh a gatt, Merionethshire, whose body was found, after a l a pse o f m any days, in a l arge pool of water on the mountain side, not a great way from his late place of abode. This investigation came to a cl ose on the following day, when th e coroner s jury brought in a verdict of wilful murder against the person suspected, named Edward Clubbe, a labourer, about 23 years of age, and living in a house not far from that of the deceased. The delinquent is committed to Ruthin Gaol, on the coroner's warrant, to take his trial at the ensuing assizes for this foul and heinous offence, as well as on a magistrate's commitment for another crime—of stealing sheep, whose skins and flesh were myste riously discovered b y some of the coun ty constab u l ary f orce, concealed in so me part of his dwelling-house, and f ound there when in pursuit of him on suspicion of the murder. It appears, from what has transpired in the course of this inves tigation, that Clubbe is a desperate and melicious cha4cter. and was lately a terror to those in whose neighbourhood he lived.wCouraia.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Pen. 18 The Butter market continues steady both in price and demand. Not much doing in pickled Butter, barreled provisions or Bacon; but we do not alter our currency. • SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 17. There was a fair show of stock to-day, especially beasts. The best Beef sold in some instances as high as 7id-per lb, and the best Mutton realized in many cases as much as Sd per lb. Nearly all sold. Best Beef, (iid to lid ; inferior, Sit to 6i. Best Mutton, 7d to 8d ; inferior, Sid to did per lb sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 18 The increased demand, as noticed in our circular of Monday, has continued, and large business has been done to the extent of 20,000 bales : viz. Tuesday 5,000, Wednesday 10,000, and to-day 5,000, of this quantity we place 4,700 American and 300 Surat to speculation account, and 250 American for export. As regards prices we may remark that in American descriptions below 7d, a full id advance on last Friday's prices has been generally paid, and id '4l , lb'in the better descriptions. Surat Cotton is more in demand. and may be quoted a shade dearer. Consumers aro free buyers, and they find the market pretty well supplied. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 16. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6r Son.) The frost which prevailed so severely, as stated in our circular last Tuesday, was succeeded on Thursday by a very rapid thaw, which still continues uninterruptedly; and although the Wheat lands and pastures are reported to have a very withered and un favourable aspect, having had very little covering of snow through out this district, during the late severe weather, from the infor mation of several intelligent farmers with whom we have convers ed, no decided injury to the Wheat crops is at present apprehended. Though the winds have admitted only of partial arrivals coast ways from the South, so that our imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal have been small during the past week ; the demand has been pretty fair, the prices last quoted have been fully obtained, and in some instances for Wheat and Oats a little exceded ; the stocks of every kind of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal in this market are now very much reduced. The duty on Rye and Beans from foreign ports was increased on Friday last is 6d per qr. on other Grain no alteration ; small parcels of Italian wheat in bond have been taken on speculation at 3s sd, and of Odessa at ss, of Flour at 25s 6d and 26s per brl. and of Pease at 35s to 36s per qr. for export, but the transactions have been very small in bonded Grain. At this day;s market, in consequence of an advance of Is per qr. having occurred on Wheat in London yesterday, a similar ad vance was demanded here to-day, and obtained to a very moderate extent; for all other articles we can note no alteration since this day week.
