FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.—A fire occurred in London on Wednesday, in Loder's-place ; Chapel-street, by which a little boy, four years old, lost his life. The trial of Good for the Roehampton murder will take place at the coming sessions of the Central Criminal Court, which begin on Monday week. It is thought the day fixed for the trial will be either Thursday or Friday. Forty thousand emigrants were sent out to New South Wales last year, at a cost to the Colonial Government of X 900,000. In future the average number of emigrants to that colony is to be limited to 10,000, and to Van Dienaan's Land, £l,-500. Advices from Belfast mention the suspension of payment of Messrs. Curell and Sons, manufacturers of that place. It is supposed that only time is required to enable them to meet their liabilities. CORDAGE AND OAKUM.—By a return moved for by Sir Howard Douglas, M.P., the total quantity of foreign cordage and cables imported during the year ended the sth of January, 1841, was 5092 cwt. ; and the total quantity of oakum so im ported 13,271 cwt. We understand that the marriage of Miss Cecil Wellesley, only unmarried daughter of the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Gerald Wellesley, a sister of Viscountess Chelsea, with the Hon. Mr. Liddell, son of Lord Ravensworth, is to be solemnized in the course of the ensuing month. The fair betrothed is niece to the Duke of Wellington. The London Courier newspaper is advertised for sale. Mr. George Robins is the auctioneer, who says in the advertise ment that the " retrograde march" of the Courier is owing " to its having in an evil hour been tempted to advocate those political (liberal) principles that fortunately now are very much out of fashion." FREE TRADE BEEF.—About a fortnight ago, a young gentleman at Pendleton lost a fine young well-bred horse by accident. The animal was bought by a person at Eccles, where it was cut up with a little skill, salted, and sold in Manchester for free-trade, or South American, beef at 4d. per lb. CURIOSITY DISAGREEABLY GRATIFIED.—TWO females applied for admission to the Crown Court at the Gloucester assizes, one of them remarking that she had never seen a trial, and wished to have an opportunity of doing so. She had not been present long before she was recognised by a policeman as a person who was charged with a robbery at Cheltenham. She was immediately apprehended, a bill was found against her, and her curiosity to be present at a trial was gratified to a greater extent than was agreeable, she being the party tried, and being sentenced to six months' imprisonment. •• - - • RIOT AT WlGAN.—Great distress has for some time pre vailed in the town of Wigan, and particularly among that unfortunate class of operatives the handloom weavers, who, in consequence of the introductiGn of power looms, or some other cause, are unable, when in work, at 14 hours per day, to earn more than from 4s' to is. per week. Many thou sands of these wretched people, scattered throughout the ma nufacturing district, are wholly destitute of the means of subsistence, excepting the relief so niggardly doled out by poor law guardians, who cannot, legally, afford them any out-door relief whatever. Groups of hundreds of these poor men and their families are continually parading the streets, craving charity. On Thursday last they assembled in un usually large numbers, in Wigan, and about six hundred of them went in a body to the board room, where the guardians of the Wigan union were sitting, and there demanded instant relief. This was denied, and they were ordered to leave the premises, upon which they rushed towards the ;board-room, demanding " Food or death, " and took possession of it. The guardians were put to flight, and the police were sent for, but they were unable to disperse the mob. Upon this, the authorities, fearing for the peace of the town, held a consultation, when it was determined to send for the mili tary from the barracks, who speedily arrived under the di rections of the Mayor. They were two companies of the 60th Rifles, who drew up in front of the mob. The officer in command civily but firmly desired the mob to disperse on pain of consequences, which they ultimately did without resorting to violence. Placards have since appeared upon the walls, headed " Bread v. Steel," calling a public meeting to take into consideration the best means of satisfying the immediate wants of these starving people. SUSPECTED MURDER.—MERTHYR, APRIL 24.—The ma nufacturing town of Merthyr (in the Welch hills) was thrown into much excitement yesterday afternoon, in consequence of the discovery of the body of an old woman, of the name of Edwards, hid under a bedstead in her own house, a wretched hovel, in Plymouth-street, near the tram-road. It appears that the deceased, who was 70 or 73 years of age, resided as above, her son and his wife living with her, and sleeping on the bed underneath which the body was found. The old woman having been missed by her neighbours for some days past, inquiries were made of her son as to where she was, in answer to which the son stated, that she had gone a few miles into the country. On his leaving the house yesterday morn ing he told his wife that he was going to Dowlais to get his pay, and particularly ordered her not to look under the bed. After he had left, the wife, excited by curiosity to know what it was her husband was so anxious to conceal from her, went to a neighbour's house, and told two women of it, who agreed that the wife ought to see what it was. The three women then returned to the house, and raising the foot vallance of the bedstead, were horror-struck at observing the body of the poor old woman under the bed partially wrapped up in a sheet, and quite dead. The alarm having been given, the su perintendent of police was sent for, and from the information obtained by him suspicion pointed instantly to the son as the murderer, and the more readily so from the son being the person who was two years since committed for the murder of a poor Irish girl, an unfortunate woman of the town. In that case, the evidence not being deemed conclusive, Edwards was acquitted on his trial at the assizes. Information was immediately given to the coroner, Mr. T. Davis, and at five o'clock last evening the coroner and a respectable jury as sembled ; having viewed the body, the inquest was adjourned until six o'clock, Monday evening, in order to allow time for the post mortem examination of the body. The police are in active pursuit of the murderer, but have not as yet succeeded in capturing him. • SHOCKING MURDER IN WALES.—On Friday, the 15th instant, a revolting murder was committed at a place called Coed e Vedw, which is the name given to a few cottages in the parish of Dingestow, about two miles and a half from Ragland, on the road to Monmouth. The victim was a child one year and ten months' old, named Eliza Hughes, who died by the hands of its own mother, committed by drowning it in a pan of water, and then cutting open the abdomen. The unhappy woman, who is thlrty-nine years of age, and has been married about three years, is insane. A few days before the committal of the dreadful deed, she appeared low spirited and dejected, but not sufficiently so as to cause any alarm to her husband and neighbours. On the day of the murder, her husband returned home to dinner rather before his usual time, and told his wife that, as he was in a hurry, he would not wait for his dinner to be cooked, but would have bread and cheese. He dandled his child on his knees during the time ; and, on going back to his work, the little creature followed him to the door. The mother told her husband to pick her up and kiss her, which he did ; and it must have been soon after his departure that the unhappy creature destroyed it. She immediately posted to a neigh bour, a quarter of a mile from the house, and narrated the particulars of her crime, and was soon afterwards apprehended at Penrose. Since her apprehension, up to the time of her being conveyed to the county jail on Monday evening, she was exceedingly violent and outrageous, but did not make the least allusion to her child. An inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of wilful murder returned against Maria Hughes. The wretched woman was forthwith conveyed to Monmouth jail. THE ROYAL MASQUE.—Her Majesty's " Masque" still continues to be the ruling topic. Her Majesty has signified her gracious permission that each fair leader of fashion should bring her own baronial court to pay liege homage to Edward and Phillippa, and in the costume of such epoch as best may suit themselves, their sworn knights and dames The most remarkable addition to the splendour of the pageant on the ]2th of May will be the Court of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. Her Royal Highness, with cha racteristic good taste, has adopted the character of Anne de Bretagne. i The costume of this Princess is the most beau tiful, and s preserved in many illuminated volumes with all its original grace and splendour and the minutest detail, this celebrated beauty having brought the largest province of France as an accessjon to the French crown, and married successively two sovereigns of that great country. The cos tume belongs, besides, to one of the most splended and and chivalric period of French annals. Fifty followers are to accompany Her Royal Highness, most of them wearing the costumes of the great dignitaries of the Court of Charles VIII. and his successor. We do not know what costume her Royal Higness's consort will wear, but the character of the stalwart, chivalric knight and kind-hearted sovereign, Louis XII, would well befit him, not only in the superfices, but in the moral similarity of disposition and habits. Amongst the cortege of her Royal Highness will be formed four complete quadrilles—French, German, Spanish and Italian. We hear that their Excellences the French Ambas sador and Ambassadress have joined with her Royal High ness, and, no doubt, will contribute to uphold the memory of one of the noblest Royal dames that ever bore the sceptre of St. Louis. The Countess of Jersey, we hear, is to wear the costume which the great Medici, by the ascendancy of their taste and their power, rendered so much a vogue in past ages, and which bears the stamp of the classic source from which it flowed. All these arrangements would, how. ever, lose their charm if, from the very outset, the Royal mummers were mixed. It is, therefore, expected that each party will rendezvous at :some given point, and thus pro ceed to the " Masque." It is therefore expected, we repeat that Her Majesty, seated under a canopy, will receive the bright squadrons with their seperate cognizances as they arrive, and that these, as soon as they have paid their obei sances to Royalty, will file off right and left, to raised seats in the Presence Chamber, and in their turn become specta tors, after being actors in the mimic scene—until, at last, the brilliant assemblage being complete, the quadrilles, under their seperate leaders, will once more occupy the floor. Be sides this, younger ladies of high rank are organizing quad rilles, of which each of the partners is to wear some uniform peculiar dress. Vie never knew curiosity in matters of pleasure more intensely excited. This projected (and now determined)fete has been received by all classes with general acclamation, ministering, as it will, not only to the pleasures of the great but to the resources of the industrions.—Morn ing Post. THE QUEEN DOWAGER. — The health of Queen Adelaide, we are concerned to announce, precludes the possibility of her venturing out of doors at present. Her Majesty has been confined to Marlborough House since her return to London, and it is gratifying to notice the affectionate atten tions of her royal relatives, who, without exception, are con stant in their visits to the august patient. Her Majesty em ploys her leisure in works of charity, and it was only the other day that she sent for the Lady Mayoress, and presented her with a handsome assortment of articles for the charitable bazaar held on Wednesday and Thursday at the Egyptian Hall, many of which having been worked by her Majesty's own hands, possess a value for purchasers which neither cost of material nor nicety of workmanship could bestow. Her Majesty has been advised to try the air of the south of De vonshire, and will, we are informed, select a residence for this purpose during the ensuing autumn. The voyage across the channel, it is feared, would prove too severe a shock for isec delicate frame, or the south of France is generally con sideredrecommendedthe most y desirable physicians.climate, and n tb e hadfirs first instance, previously bn w two or r h t e b r r M ee te= s i . llrlmove to Bushy Park for a period of rgus. DEATH OF THE FRENCH MINISTER OF FINANCE.—A great shock was given in Paris on Monday in the ministerial and financial circles by a report being spread that M. Humann, the Minister of Finance. had died suddenly that morning. On inquiry the intelligence proved to be true, the unfortu nate gentleman having been struck with an apoplectic fit, which proved instantly fatal. M. Humann had been slightly indisposed for some days, and on Sunday his medical attend ant thought proper to bleed him, but none of his friends or family had any serious cause to be alarmed, and the blow which has fallen was as sudden as unexpected. It must be admitted that he was an able Minister, and none but a man of his talent and energy could have carried the finances of France so well through the crisis occasioned by the Thiers administration. Indeed, his loss will be severely felt; and it is possible that the plan, now before the Chambers, of esta blishing a general system of railroads, will have to be laid It is said , that M. Duchatel, Minister ke pro tempore. the financial of the L I • will acave ap aigne be de partment, as idefo l r nt t e h r e io p r r , e w se i n i of M. Hamann. M. Humann, on the morn ingtu.ndle the successor had breakfasted, and retired in his usual and that either he or M. L of his death, goo d he found good health into his library. On his secretary entering about an hour afterwards , him extended on the floor. He raised him up, but life was quite extinct. The Leith Banking Company have stopped payment. It was a very old concern, but the business has latterly been much curtailed. The reformed corporation of Cork have resolved on dis continuing an official residence for the mayor, and on redu cing that officer's salary to £5OO a year ; a saving of nearly £1,500 a year will thus be obtained. DYING FOR LOVE.—Among the wonders of the times we find it recorded, says the Nashville Whig, that a certain " Dr. Conyers dissected a person who died for love in London, and found an impression of a lady's face upon his heart." This beats animal magnetism. • AN EFFECTUAL PREVENTIVe.—There exists in some parts of Germany a law to prevent drinking during divine service. It runs thus ;—" Any person drinking in an ale-house during divine service on Sunday, or other holiday, may legally de part without paying." BLACKBURN AND LICHFIELD ELECTION PETITIONS. — The respective committees have closed their labours, and the sitting member in each case (Mr. Hornby for Blackburn, and Lord Alfred Paget for Lichfield) have been declared duly elected. Sir David Wilkie's posthumous works announced for sale by Messrs. Christie and Mason will occupy no less than six days. They are from his earliest performances to his last productions, and in number six hundred and sixty-eight.--- Literary Gazette. A WOMAN TOSSED BY A Cow.—On Wednesday last, as a young woman of the name of Alice Foulk, who lives at the Old Park, near the Oaken Gates, was going with a pail under her arm towards a part of the farm yard of Mr. Bournes, of Oaken Gates, near Wombridge, where a cow that was rather wild was kept, by some chance she went too near, and the animal made a plunge at her and threw her up into the air with the pail under her arm. Fortunately, though much hurt, she is likely to recover.—Salopian Journal. An extensive seizure was made on Wednesday by the officers of customs, on board a vessel in the Thames. The cargo, at first sight, appeared to consist of tierces of beef and other articles, but it was soon discovered that, instead of beef, the casks (forty in number) contained bags of snuff, closely packed, the contents of each cask weighing upwards of 34 cwt., the duty upon which would have amounted to nearly £5OOO. The goods were removed to the custom house stores. IVCENDIARY FIRES.—On Wednesday information was reesived in London of several incendiary fires—the work of incendiaries. The first consumed the farming premises belonging to a gentleman near Hucking, West Kent. The loss is estimated at several hundred pounds.—Another took place on the estate of the Rev. W. Dansey, Danhead, Wiltshire, whereby two large barns, a granary, stables, cow and cart-house, and other buildings, have been de stroyed.—A third consumed the premises of Messrs. Tas ker and Co., timber merchants, at Andover.—A. fourth oc curred at Havant, near Chichester, which destroyed two granaries and two dwelling-houses. UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.—PUGILISM.—The follow ing notice was issued on Monday last by the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge:—" Whereas it has been represented to the vice-chancellor that some students of the university have lately resorted to a professed teacher of the art of boxing, contrary to the good order and discipline of the university; we, the vice-chancellor and heads of colleges, whose names are underwritten, hereby order and decree that if any person in statu pupillari be hereafter found resorting to or having any communication whatever with any such teacher of the art of boxing, or be found attending any prize-fight, he shall be liable to the punishment of suspension, rustication, or expulsion, as the case shall appear to the vice-chancellor and beads of colleges to require." (Signed by the vice-chan cellor and masters.) The neighbourhood of Saunderscourt, Newcastle, and all that part of the country along the side of the Slaney down to the Bridge of Deeps, has been in the greatest and most alarming state of excitement for the last ten days, in conse quence of the number of mad dogs now prowling about and attacking every animal in their course. The first appearance of the kind took place in the early part of this month, when a dog from the Deeps ran through the neighbourhood of Kilown, where he attacked two or three dogs ane a calf be longing to Mr. Paul Walker; three dogs and two helfers of Mr. Thacker's ; and two dogs of Mr. Richard Bennett's, Newcastle ; also a lamb of Mr. Paul M`Donnell's, Ferricar rig, most of which have since been destroyed. Two favourite greyhounds of Mr. Thacker's have been shot since Saturday; and there are many of those furious and rabid animals still going about. In fact, such is the state of the country, that the families residing in the neighbourhood are absolutely afraid to venture out of doors. We hope the authorities will take prompt and effective measures to abate this awful and terrific evil.—Wexford Independent. JEWS IN PRUSSIA.—A. letter from Berlin, 16th inst., in the Gazette of Upper Germany, has the following; with re ference to the proposition now before the Prussian Council of State, on the subject of excluding the Jews of that coun try from the liability to serve in the army :—This ;proposition has led to a conference between M. de Humboldt and M. de Stollberg. In a letter M. de Humboldt says :—lll-na tured rumours have been current on this subject ; but if public opinion be against the principles involved in the pro position, I do not hesitate to regard it as contrary to sonnd policy and liberal feelings. It does not belong to man to In terpret the decrees of God. The ages of barbarism show to what an extent the human mind may err ! M. de Humboldt adds that complete emancipation appears to him to be a necessity of the times. The Academy of Sciences has just given a noble example of tolerance. I,t has admitted as member, on the proposition of M. de Humboldt, the learned philosopher, Dr. Riess, of the Jewish persuasion. In the present state of things, this choice cannot fail to create a profound impression." - - - • • On Thursday night, between eight and nine o'clock, the city of Canterbury was thrown into the greatest state of alarm in consequence of a disturbance created between the military and police ; the origin of which was, that two pri vates, one named Dyson, of the 3d Light Dragoons, in an intoxicated state, molested everybody they came near in the streets, especially females, broke several windows, upset the goods of the tradesmen, and otherwise annoyed them. The assistance of the police was obtained, and they were con veyed to the station-house. News of this having come to the knowledge of other soldiers, they mustered 150 strong, and at once proceeded in a menacing attitude, to the po lice-station, and threatened, in very violent language, to raze it to the ground if their comrades were not instantly released. A desperate row ensued, in which some severe blows were given on each side, and the soldiers tried to break open the station-house. " Luckily, however, the ser geant-majors promptly attended, and it was chiefly by their persuasion that the soldiers were somewhat quieted; till at length the police were induced to relinquish their prisoners, and they were conveyed to the barracks under the direction of their superiors. The row at one time bore a very threa tening aspect, as (so it is in most cases) a number of ci v ili ans got mixed up in the broil. The military consisted chiefly of volunteers into the regiments under orders for India, and some of the 4th and 9th Light Dragoons, and Nth Highlanders. Some of the party are to have a hearing before the magistrates. It was only the night previous that Cornets Morgan and Dixon, of the 9th Lancers, wantonly and brutally assaulted a pot-boy named Gregory, broke his whip, bit his finger in a horrid manner, and other wise maltreated him, for which they were had before the magistrates. THE GREAT FIGHT FOR £3OO A SlDE.—This contest, which has excited such interest in the sporting world, and upon which bets to an enormous amount have been pending, was decided on Wednesday in favour of Broome, who, from his frequent victories, had become the champion of what is technically termed the " like weights." He is a fine scien tific fighter, of great muscular power and stamina. His op ponent, an Australian, named Bungaree, is also a man of great strength, and, for a foreigner, possesses much know ledge of sparring and the tactics of the ring. Both men for the last few weeks have been in active training in the subur ban districts of the metropolis, under the most experienced professors, and their condition was considered by the best judges to be first-rate. The Australian, from being compa ratively unknown to the " fancy," did not meet with so many backers as his opponent, but, nevertheless, he obtained con siderable patronage from some of the principal supporters of the prize-ring, as he was reported to have fought several well-contested battles, and to possess the most determined courage. The odds on Friday and Saturday. last at the sporting houses were 6 and 7 to 4 on Johnny Broome, and, notwithstanding this confidence, there were plenty o f t a k ers among the London fancy. According to the articles of the match, it was arranged that the fight should come off within 20 miles of Newmarket, and it was generally understood the ring would be formed on the six mile bottom, the favoured resort of boxers in the palmy days of pugilism, and where, among other celebrated battles, the fight between Gully and H. Pearce, at that period known by the cognomen of the " Game Chicken," Was contested. The combatants and their friends experienced very great difficulty in obtaining a site for the erection of a ring ; but after one had been formed, a desperate struggle ensued, which lasted for an hour and a half, when Broome, amidst the tremendous cheering of his partisans, was declared the victor. Our correspondent was unable to ascertain the number of rounds, but was informed that both men were much punished, and the fight in the opi nion of the cognoscenti was of the first description. VAN AMBURGH AND HIS LIONS AT DOVER.—FATAL OC CURRENCE.—On the morning of Monday last, an accident, which was attended with fatal results to a fine young man named Pratt, and which had well-nigh terminated in still more serious consequences, occurred at Lock-hill-lane, a short distance from the town of Dover. It appears that Van Amburgh, who had been performing with his lions at Dover, had given directions to the above unfortunate youth to pro. ceed with the van that contained the lions, together with an immense elephant, to Folkestone, about fourteen miles from Dover, where a fair was that day to be held. On proceeding down Folkestone hill, which is rather steep, Pratt imprudently neglected to lock the wheel of the van, and before be had gained many yards the vehicle began to proceed with great rapidity, throwing the weight of it on the backs of the shaft horses, who fell underneath its ponderous Mass. This, how ever, fortunately had the effect of turning the van partially round across the road, when the poll struck against the op posite wall dashing the former to atoms and seriously damag • tug the latter. Several persons rushed to the aid of the poor driver, whom they found lying in the road with life quite ex tinct, the wheels of the van having passed over him. The horses miraculously escaped almost unhurt, and the van re ceived comparatively trifling injury. Had not the van been turned round in so providential a manner in decending the hill, it would most probably have come in contact withtthe wall at its base, and by the impetus given to it it would no doubt have been dashed to pieces, and thus have given liberty to the animals inside, which in all probability would have been productive of much mischief. A SUCCESSFUL CHASE.—The following details are given relative to a person who had absconded from Paris with 200,000 francs, and was arested at Vienna, after passing through Ratisbon :—lt is stated that he was a banker or mer chant, named W—, who left Paris for Meaux on the 18th ult., to meet the Strasburg mail, in which he had engaged a place by the name of Reutter. On the day be fore his departure, his partners, en commandite, had placed in his hands 24,000 francs to meet bills which were com ing due. When his flight became known, his creditors, who had made him a bankrupt, in the hope of discovering the direction he had taken, opened a letter that came to his address, and found it to be from his mistress, promising to meet him at Rotterdam, and thence cross over with him to England. Upon this one of the creditors set off for Lon don, and another for Frankfort, thinking that the fugitive might either go to America or to the north of Europe. Being made acquainted with the exposure of the abovementioned letter, and convinced that he would be followed to London, he, with the lady, took the road to Frankfort. The person who went to Frankfort, immediately on arriving there, in spected the registers kep t at the hotels of the travellers wh o stopt there, and found an entry, in the handwriting of W—, of a M. and Madame Collin, who had on that day taken their departure for Aschaffenburg, and followed them there. At this place they assumed the names of M. and Madame e w ß e n e t u t o t e n r t . o I W I e u n r c z e b t u h r e g y , where r they d became Durand, .y to Ratisbon, where they resumed the name of Collin,and four hours after them. Having obtained the assistance of and which a t d h a e m y passed on to Vienna. At this capital their pursuer arrived the police, the bankrupt and his companion were soon disco easily beard to grow, put on a wig, wore spectacles, in the hope of vered at one of the principal hotels. W—had suffered his said to be 300,000 f sufficiently disguising himself, but it was useless , for he was The 7,000 f, he had with him were impounded, but lie refused to disclose where he had deposited the remainder of the large sum, now recognized, and committed to prison. waiting for the formalities to warrant his being sent back to France as a fraudulent bankrupt, he will be made answerable with which he had absconded.

REPRESENTATION OF Trswrcu.—Speculation is already very busy in suggesting candidates for the representation of the borough. The Hon. J. C. Herries (one of the late can didates) and John Wilson Croker are mentioned as parties likely to be put in nomination by the conservatives. On the liberal side two reformers will come forward.—lpswich Express. DINNER BY THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.—On Wednes day the East India Company gave a sumptuous entertain ment at the London Tavern to the Marquis of Tweedale and Sir George Arthur, on occasion of their appointment to the Governorship of the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay, Sir James Lushington in the chair. The tables were deco rated with a prolusion of gold and silver plate. Amongst the company were the Marquis of Tweddale, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Lincoln, Earl Delawarr, Earl Dal housie, Lord Stanley, Lord Eliot, Sir lt. Peel, Mr. Astell, the Right Hon. Sir G. Murray, the Right Hon. Sir J. Gra ham, the Right Hon. S. R. Lushington. the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Attorney-General, and the Solicitor- General. MILITARY IN LELLI GEN CE. - TRE NEW APPOINTMENTS. —The Gazette of Tuesday night states that the following military appointments have been made :—His Royal High ness Prince Albert succeeds to the colonelcy of the 3d regi ment of Scots fusilier guards, vacant by the demise of the Earl of Ludlow ; Lieut.-general Sir Arthur B. Clifton, K.C.B. and K.C.H., 17th lancers, is appointed to the 11th hussars, vice his Royal Highness Prince Albert ; his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge goes to the 17th lan cers, vice Clifton ; Lieut.-general Sir J. Stevenson Barns, K.C.8., is appointed to the colonelcy of the 20th regiment of foot, vacant by the decease of General Sir Wen. Houstoun; Lieut.-general Sir A. Woodford, K.C.B. and G.C.M.G., governor of Gibraltar, to the 40th regiment, vacant by the decease of Lieut.-general Sir Lionel Smith ; and Lieut.- general Sir Dugald Little Gilman, K.C.8., succeeds to the appointment of second colonel commandant of the rifle bri gade, vice Sir J. S. Barns. The body of a young man, named Henry Lawrence, was one day last week casually discovered suspended from a tree in Tiddesley Wood, near Pershore, being in a state of de composition, and greatly mangled by the birds; the legs were tied, and it was evident that the• unhappy man had climbed up to the branch, sat upon it while he fastened his limbs, and then, placing the rope round his neck, and affixing the other end to the branch, have thrown himself from it. The body was immediately conveyed to the Talbot, in Pershore. The inquest was held on Thursday before C. Best, Esq., and a respectable jury, who returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased was " found hanging." It appears that the unfor tunate man was from Hartill, Northamptonshire, and came into this neighbourhood soon after the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway commenced, and had been employed on the line as a plate-layer, but had lately been out of work. During his residence here he had married a young widow, who stated on the inquest that they lived on very g ood terms together; but the general opinion of the neighbours was quite the reverse of that, and it was known that they fre quently quarrelled. The widow said that the deceased left home in very good spirits on the 28th of February, in search of work.—Worcester Journal. CALEDONIAN CANAL.—We understand the committee of the House of Commoes have unanimously agreed to recom mend the completion and improvement of the Caledonian Canal, as proposed by Mr. Walker, engineer, and Sir Edward . . Parry. There seems no doubt, therefore, that government will make the necessary advances, and preparations will be made for commencing the works. We anticipate important results from this decision, so intimately connected with the prosperity of Invciness, and the whole north of Scotland. — Inverness Courier. The Malta Times has a circular by Mr. Warrington the British consul at Tripoli, dated March 26, addressed to the different chiefs of the interior and northern coast of Africa, representing to them the folly as well as cruelty of the slave trade, and avising them to substitute for it an active trade in the natural resources of Africa, such as gold dust, ivory, ostrich feathers, gum, skins, indigo, &c. This circular has been translated into Arabic and profusely distributed. The petty officer of the Cambridge, who was condemned to death for the murder of a boy, was to be sent from Malta to En gland in the Weasel in a few days, the sentence being that he is to be hung on board of any British ship at the pleasure of the Admiralty. The Polyphemus left on the llth for Naples, conveying there the distinguished Hindoo the Dwarkanauth Tagore, on his way to England. Whilst in Malta this gentleman displayed great liberality in donations to the charities of the island. Some years ago an elderly gentlemen, on his way through Arundel, took advantage of a short stay at the Norfolk Arms to visit the castle. He was much pleased, as all sensible vi sitors must be, with every thing he saw, but most with the grave moping owls of the keep. But, of all the family, one had that peculiar sagacity of expression which appeared to engross the whole attention of his visitor. His horns long, and horizontally projecting from either temple ; his scarlet coloured eyes, that seemed as if they had become inflamed by long-continued study ; his wings that hung loosely about him like a professor's gown ; his face, his feet, every feature, in short, seemed to say, " this is no common owl.' "He 's a sagacious fellow, this," observed the stranger. " Yes, sir," said the keeper, " we always call him the chancellor." " The what—the chancellor? " " Yes, sir, sometimes the chancellor, and sometimes Lord Eldon—he is so very wise." The stranger was highly amused at finding a namesake un der the ivy in Arundel keep, for we need scarcely add, that the visitor was, in fact, the chancellor hi mself, the late vene rable and learned Lord Eldon. —Beatties Castles and Abbeys of England. We are authorised to contradict various newspaper para graphs of recent date—(one or two of which, we are sorry to say, appeared in th e B u ll,) relating to the testamentary distribution of the late Earl Of Westmorland's property, and subsequent arrangements between the present earl and his sister, Lady Georgiana Fane. The statement circulated this last week is, we have the means of knowing, in every particular incorrect. The Earl of Westmorland has, at pre sent, an income of about £16,000 per annum ; and the pro perty left to Lady Georgiana does not amount to more than £2500 per annum—from which an annuity has to be paid to her ladyship's younger brother, Col. Fane. Every arrange ment between Lord Westmorland and Lady Georgiana Fane has been, and is, on the most am icable footever was, nor could have been desired by his lordship, that his sister should give up to him any part of her comparatively small income. In case of any further misrepresentations, we may take this opportunity of mentioning, that the fortune of the Dowager Countess of Westmorland isentailed on Col. Fane.—John Bull. LOVE IN A BREWING PAN.—That the course of love never will run smooth has become the almost every-day ex perience of the unfortunate victim s of the ensnaring little Cupid. " Merrie Wakefield," on fo rme r occasions demon strated to the world the dangers of . too blind an adherence to the ill-advised counsels of the blind god ; nevertheless, it appears that neither Wakefield or any other field ever will escape from the heart - burning and finger-burning conse quences of the tyrannies of love. Lately, a reverend gentle man of Wakefield, took it into his head that his house was frequented by visitors who, .though more free than we l come to him, were not so to his maid-servants. He determined to make an experiment, and see whether these " testimonials of respect" were for his o wn or their dear sakes, and accord ingly informed them that he was going a journey and would not return home that night. Didn't the hearts of his faith ful and affectionate servants leap for joy, whilst with solemn coun t enanc es they assured him they would pay every atten tion, &c. Their worthy master having g o t a sma ll quan tity of luggage, took his departure. In the meantime the true and faithful servants anxiously awaited the arrival of their cousins, who were punctual, as usual, to the appointed hour, or rather minute—for love thinks more o f th e h ap py m i nu t e than any other sect i on of time. How readily did they tell their delighted swains that " master had gone out of town and wouldn't be back to. night !" We didn't exactly hear them reply that the statement was "too good to be true," but as the sequel will prove, they discovered it was so exces sively good as all that. At the happy and yet fatal hour of eight, " master" cruelly determined to return home. He suddenly entered the house, and was just in time to think he saw something drop into a large brewing-pan in the kitchen. The reverend gentleman wagged his head, doubled up his sleeves, (laughing in them at the same time,) and said, " I think we will brew to-night." . He only wanted to brew mis chief ! The poor fellow . inside, hearing the brewing spoken of, thought of the mashing he would get, and was already beginning to melt from the combined effects of love and fear ! There was the consolation of thinking that she for whose sake he was thus to be dissolved in the mash-tub, would soon receive some portion of his alcoholic remains, and thereby that " they twain should become one flesh !" He quietly resigned himself to the martyrdom of the mash tub ! His reverend executioner then commenced operations by pump ing water into the vessel, but as the animal inside was but a rum fish, and couldn't swim, he jumped up in " heavy wet," and instantly bolted. On inquiry it turned out that he was " only a friend of the cook's."—Halifax Guardian. KNOCK AND RING. - At the Middlesex Court of Requests, last week, a black Coast of Guinea niggar, very trimly dressed, and who, in consideration of being in the land of liberty, doubtless " shakes hands with himself every morning," sued his master, a gentleman residing in Bedford-square, for the sum of 155., one month's wages. The case very humourously exhibited what may be called a " distinction with a differ ence." Mr. Dubois.—" Why refuse to pay this sum, Mr. Morton ?" Defendant.—" Sir, of all the insolent fellows that ever existed, this fellow—" " Sar," said the ebony plaintiff, " sar, him no fellar—him tell him face ob face." " Silence, sir," said the officer of the court. " Silence keep himself," said blackey. " What a for my monies no paid, eh ?—what a for dis white a massa no pay noting', eh ?—what a for—" Mr. Dubois.—" But it seems you have disobeyed orders." Blackey.—" Eh, ah ; dere him wrong. Massa put him brass a plate on door, and say to sombody and ebe rybody come, knock and ring. Berry well; him sit side of de kishen fire, and poker, poker, scrape a scrape, and talk to de cook : berry good : by by, cone knock (roars of laughter) : Mungo, cook say, dare one knock ob de door : ees, ees, I say ; but de fool no ring. Massa put a brass on de door, and say, ' knock and ring.' (Laughter.) Berry good ; buckra knock again, and I say, you fool, what for you no ring? and stick a fast by de side ob de fire." (Laughter.) Mr. Du bois.—" But, sir, it was your duty to answer the door." Blackey.—" So him did answer, and say, Mungo no move till de knock come wid de ring. (Laughter.) So den comes one loud ring —one a long long ring ob de kitchen bell." (Laughter.) Mr. Dubois.—" Well. sir, and did you open the door then ?" Blackey.—" No, sir ; him poke de fire again." A Juryman.—" Why didn't you open the door:" Blackey. —" Cos him no knock." (Laughter.) The cunning of Blackey, however, did not avail him, and the jury dismissed the summons on the ground of inattention to duty. A man in Transylvania, named Kovats, has discovered a certain remedy for hydrophobia ; its efficacy has been proved, and it the Austrian government has app ointed him to adminis terin any case that may come within his reach : it is six drachms of the Asclepias Vincitoxicum ; two, of the bark of the young branches of the Service tree (Cratcequs Tarmi nails), and the inner part of nine bulbs of garlic soaked in half-a. pint of pure water in an unglazed vessel, and then boiled, near, but not on, the fire ; then strained ; the dose for a man five l arge t a ble-spoonsful , to b e taken in the morning on an empty stomach, so soon as the person bitten shows symptoms of illness. NOTES ON THE LATE DRAWING -ROOM.-At the court of the King of the French. ladies present themselves in ordi nary dinner costume ! How different here ! Take for an instance, of our superiority, Lady Peel's costume at the Drawing-room. How becoming her ample and graceful mantle of damask, e effect highly with a white gro und, broche with sap phire ! W as not th becoming ? We were in deed, at the late Drawing-room, surprised at the improve ment in the dress of most of the ladies present ; instead of towering plumes, like those of a hearse, feathers, now of moderate size, have lost all formality, are adapted to the face, and tall ladies are no longer gigantic ; pocket Venuses, ridiculous ; nor are the objects of one's daily adoration not recognisable. To add further instances of costumes at the Drawing-room, we may mention Lady Yarde Buller's, which was agreeably eccentric. Her dress, in white moire, was turned over with cherry-coloured velours Cpingl6, which threw most advantageously its warm tints over the entire costume. Viscountess Dungannon wore a dress of the rich est effect : her mantle, velvet and silver ; her under-dress covered with a silver blonde of antique pattern. The Duchess of Buccleuch and Lady Tankerville, in the sombre hues of mourning, presented a remarkable contrast as they passed on. Next swept past Lady Stanley, with a rich rose-coloured mantle, her dress of white satin, trimmed with 6pingle vel vet ; producing together a charming effect. Next came a Venus in miniature—Miss Fitzgibbon. Her costume, of charming simplicity, was entirely white. Next we saw the lovely sister of the young Princess who has just bid adieu to England—Lady Clementina Villiers, whose dress, colour vert chore, required all her youth and beauty to be worn with effect. The Thames Tunnel is a large bricked tube, which passes under the bed of the stream. The purpose for which it was constructed has never been clearly ascertained, but some highly scientific individuals have conceived that during a severe winter it is intended to be filled with boiling water, and so insure the uninterrupted navigation of the river by pre venting an accumulation of ice. Others have imagined that it is to be converted into a powder magazine, and in case of invasion, to be used as an American torpedo and set the Thames on fire, or blow up the enemy's fleet, whilst our own men-of-war are safely anchored—in Puddledock.—Punch. THE ARMY.—CIIATHAM, APRIL 27.—Yesterday after noon the first division of the 84th Regiment of Foot, com prising 15 sergeants, three drummers, and 358 rank and file, marched into Rochester, and was immediately quartered in the city. The 84th Regiment is from Fermoy, in Ireland, which place they left on the 19th instant, and arrived at Cork on the 20th, where the regiment immediately embarked on board the Victory steamer, and disembarked at Bristol on the 21st. Thence they proceeded by railroad to Reading, and marched to Basingstoke, on their route to Winchester ; but, owing to an official order, their march was countermanded, and the regiment was ordered to proceed to Gravesend. The troops consequently proceeded by railroad from Basingstoke to London, and marched from London to Gravesend, where the second division is now billeted, the head-quarters re maining at Dartford. It is very creditable to the soldiers that during their long march they had not a single prisoner. The whole of the regiment is healthy and in excellent spirits, and. are young men. The strength of the regiment is 1,060 rank and file, six of whom only are above 30 years of age. The regiment, on their leaving Ireland, were unexpectedly joined by 50 volunteers from the 89th regiment, The first division is under the command of Major Clerk, with Captain Veith, Captain Coxe, Lieutenant Mathew Casson, Lieute nant Harrison, Lieutenant Lightfoot, and Assistant-Surgeon Fox. The second division is under the command of Lieute nant Colonel Willington. The head quarters of the regiment is under the command of Lieuteuant-Colonel Maclean. The regiment takp out 180 women, being allowed 12 women to each company ; as many children follow also. At present there are no orders when the troops are to embark, as the names of the ships which are to convey the troops to the east are not yet known. This morning a detachment of the 2d Queen's marched from Chatham garrison, to embark on board the ship Lord Lynedoch. This detachment consisted 54 rank and file, under the command of Lieutenant Deshon, of the 22d regiment of Foot, bound for Bombay. z't)tpptn i it&lltt t urr. TUESDAY, APRIL 26.—Wind South.

The Corn trade during last week remained very inactive both in regard to demand and fluctuation of prices. We have been but moderately supplied for some weeks past with every description of grain, our English supplies being generally confined to the home counties, and our foreign from the Baltic and Mediterranean ports. To this morning's market the arrivals are tolerably good of Eng lish Wheat, fair of Barley, and short of other descriptions of spring corn. Wheats must be quoted 2s lower for all qualities, Barley is in moderate demand at a decline of is from this day week, and Oats are a slow sale at last week's prices; and Beans and Peas of both sorts are without alteration, with a good supply of Hog Peas fresh up. Flour remains inactive, and the Seed trade is drawing to a close for this season. . WEDNESDAY, April 27 The trade has been very stagnant this morning, and the prices are nominally the same as on Monday last, when Wheat was about Is per quarter lower than in the preceding week. The supplies of English Wheat are abundant, but speculators are unwilling to move, in consequence of the discordant opinions on the subject of the Corn Law, which some parties assert, but probably erroneously, will lower the duty on foreign Wheat I4s per quarter on the com mencement of the law. The grain generally is much improved in quality, and the English Wheat would now command much better prices were the factors clear in their views of the new Cora Law Act. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 26 Although several English, Irish, and Foreign vessels have arrived here since Friday, the supplies of Grain fresh in for this day's market are collectively but moderate, and of Flour and Oatmeal very inconsiderable. The New Corn Bill, having passed through the Lords, is expected to take immediate effect, which, combined with the depression in Mark Lane yesterday, and the continuance of fine, though dry weather, serve to increase the languor pre viously noted ; we have accordingly to report an exceedingly dull trade this morning, for English, Irish, and all Foreign, duty paid, Wheats, and a further abatement generally, thereby reducing our quotations 2d. to 3d. per 701bs below the rates of Tuesday last. Home-made and Irish Flour hardly sustained late prices, and States, as also Canadian, declined 6d. per barrel, with a slow limited sale for all de scriptions. Ih bonded grain no transactions have been reported since Friday ; and except a few hundred barrels for export, few or none in Flour. _ _ _ . Barley and Malt, attended with occasional sales, retaine , their former value. Beans and Pease remained stationary. The Oat trade having been extremely heavy, was decidedl rather lower ; and Oatmeal, being taking off sparingly, re ceded 6d. per 2401b5. liaarkets. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 26 Only a very moderate enquiry for Cotton to-day. About 2000 bales sold.at yesterday's prices; about 200 bales taken for export, with a steady and firm feeling. COTTON MARKET, APR! f: Our market has very much tamed, and the demand does not exceed 3,000 bales daily all to the trade, with the exception of a few hundred for export and speculation. Holders are firm, and not deterred by the expected large import, which buyers are looking forward to as likely to bring down prices. The late advance is not fully maintained, particularly in the very low descriptions. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 27. The show of stock to-day was only moderate, either of Beef or Mutton. The best Beef brought last week's rates, and prime Mutton the same. The new tariff does not appear to have affected prices as yet in this market. Best Beef 6d to bid, Mutton bid to 7d, and clipped Sheep 6d per lb. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, APRIL 27.: The price of Hides, all weights above 60Ibs, 3d per lb, Cheviots and half-bred 3s yd to 4s 6d ; large skins (Irish and Yorkshire) 5s to 6s. Tallow 4s pd per stone of 141bs. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, A PRIL 25. The supply of Cattle to-day although not so large as on this day week, the trade is nevertheless exceedingly heavy, and a reduction of prices is consequently the result, with the exception of Beef, which has scarcely varied, the quotation being from 3s 2d to 4s 4d Mutton, for prime sorts has declined 2 d since this day week, which ranges between 3s 6d to 4s 6d. Pork, which fell on last market day about 4d, remains at 4s to 5s per stone. Veal is 4s 8d to 5s 4d, which is 4d lower than Monday last. There was a dull inquiry for Lambs, 5s 6d to 6s 4d was the price, and every article looked very dull (Per stone of Bibs, sinking the offal. NORTHERN HOSPITAL, APRIL 23. ADMITTED.
