He seems to have beaten her on the head with the poll-end of a hatchet, and thrust her under the grate ; where the body lay when Halman called in some neigh bours. He pretended that his wife, while drunk, threw a hatchet at him ; in retaliation, he pushed her, and she fell under the grate. But the hatchet was found concealed in a wall ; and the cuts on the woman showed that she had been violently assailed. Scovcn WEISREY.—At a meeting in Wick, on the Ist instant, Mr. Dunn, excise-officer, stated that there were five distilleries in Caithness which annually manufactured 80,000 gallons of whiskey, all for home consumption, at a cost of £40,000, or £5,000 more than the assessed rental of the country in 1815, or about half the real rental at present. He believed the population of the country was about 38,000, which would on an average give two gallons to every man, woman, and child. But as the children could not use the whiskey, and as the ladies, of course, never polluted their lips with the poison, there must be a good share to some people.—Edinburgh Witness. PETITIONS to parliament in favour of juvenile reforma tion have been extensively signed by the magistrates of the Gloucestershire court of quarter sessions, Mont CONVENT FIRES.—Two fresh attempts have been made to fire the Popish nunnery in Dighton-street, Bristol, to which twice already fire has been wilfully set. The circumstances under which these attempts have been maxie leave no doubt that the incendiary is within the The Echo, of Valparaiso, says that the electric telegraph company have been compelled temporarily to abandon their works, owing to the opposition of the country people, who cut the wires, under the belief that the telegraph was an invention of the devil's, and affected their hopes of salvation. AT EDINBURGH, a few days ago, Professor Anderson gave his audience a specimen how the juggle of table rapping may be performed. After making the spirit enclosed within a hollow table obedient to his behests, to the satisfaction of his audience, he removed the top of the table, and exhibited the said mysterious agent, which consisted of a small hammer similar to those which beat the hours on our .clocks, and which was under the influ ence of a galvanic battery, connected to it by a 'Wirt con ducted along the ioor from beneath the stage. MAY AND DY.CPMBER.—A wealthy spinster,well known to the neighbourhood of Honiton, and verging on the period which the Psalmist records as the duration of hu man existence, having spent the whole of 'her years in single blessedness, appears at last to have been overtaken by the sly rogue Cupid. A youthful tutor of three and twenty summers attracted a heart heretofore impervious to the soft nothings of the sterner sex, and on Thursday last, after a courtship on the lady's part•of some duration, the bonds of hymen were entwined in The presence of a large company, who attended in carriages to give eclat to the nuptial ceremony, and who had been invited by the bride to a ddettner a la fourchet - ft., which was laid out with a profusion that might have been expected from the well-known habits of the lady ; and consisted, we are in formal, of half a fowl and about three pounds of cold beef. How the party fared may, perhaps, be more easily ima ,gineAl than described.—Exeter Flying Post. BRANDY Prom BEErsoor.fflhe experiment of ex tracting brandy from beetroot has just been successfully tried in this country ; and with a result that cannot fail to be attended with the most signal success.—Leeds Leporter. EXTRAORDINARY INCRPI.SE OP PAUPERISM. --:The high price of provisions, and:file want of labour, has during the past week caused an increase of pauperism, in 'the parish of St. Pancras, wholly and entirely unprecedented. There are at this time on the parish books no less a num ber receiving relief, in and out of the workhouse, that 10,465 persons, and yet the poor rate is only 51d. in the pound for the present half year. The increase in out-door poor in one week, consequent on the late snow and frost, has been upwards of 2,000. A DISTREeSING Scrim occurred in Lambeth Churai on Sunday forenoon. The Rev. W. D. James, the senior curate, was reading the morning service, when, on gating almost to the end of the Litany, a sudden scream - was heard, and in an .instant afterwards the rev. gentleman fell in his desk, apparently in a fit. The Rev. Mr. Easom, his brother curate, 'ran to his assistance, and after some time he recovered-sedfitiently to be removed to brio own residence. An apoplectic fit, it is presumed, waSthecause of the rev. g,entleruarizs attack. A FLEYTBLE Fielumn.—The most ingenious and origi nal inventions seemnlivays destined to plunge - their in ventors into diffieeties. At the Great Exhibition of 1851 there were - few specimens of mechanical contrivarim which attracted more curious interest that Count Dunin's steel " modal of a 'man" -with its 7,000 springs, wheels, and laming so deftly-Conibined that, by turning a handle, the figure.cculd be expanded to the dimensions Of a.giant, or wound =down • into , the diminutive proportionwef a dwarf, and yet preserve a perfect symmetry among its various parts nndlinibs. The expenses attending this intricate machine, and other contrivances of a like •chanrter, have, however, resulted in making the inventor a bankrupt, an adjudication having' been pronounced againstlim on Mon ' day, in Bashinghall-street, London. His liabilities are stated to be considerUble, chiefly upon bills of exchange. The count, it was then said, had disappeared, and the only assets tlisooverable consisted of some furniture, and this, was , crinimed by a single creditor under a bilbof,sale. SEAMEN'S WAGEF--A difference has just. arisen be tween' le seamen of Aberdeen and their employers on the the score of wages. The men, who have been receiving £4 per month, now demand £4 10s., and ed. per ton for bast ; and own_ca's. rather than accede to these terms, have paid Off - their hands. In consequence, there is scarcely a vessel ill the harbour manned. A meeting of seagoing carpenters was held on Monday, when at least , some of that ;Class joined the seamen's movement, and consequently pledged themselves not to take the place of the-latter. Shouldthis state of matters. continue, it is not difficult to see what the result may be, mid sspecially who must be the greatest sufferers; but it is to be hoped that better influences will prevail.—AberdeenXierald. TIE WAGES MOVEE'ENT IN TEE WEST.—The vgitation in favour of an increase in the amount of wages, conse quent on the high price of "provisions, is not 'yet settled in the...west of England. At Sturrninster-Marshall the whole Sfablie agricultural labourers struck for an.aclvance a few days since. The farmers met together, .aid, after consultation, agreed to give the men an additional. is. per week. In the parish of Piddletown, in Somerset, the attempt , to obtain an advance by the agricultural ilabourers assumed ii most riotous cLaracter. About 40 mentwent in a body to"Waterson farm, in the occupation of Mr. James Hartling,f-and endeavoured to get the la! , rers there to join theanin making a demand on that person for as, in crease of .wages. They failed, however, to disaffect the men tamales their master,-one of them declaringthat he was perfectly satisfied with his wages. In spite ,of This they went to Mr. Harding, and demanded that 'he should pay his meraas another farmer, named Geago, had pro mised to do--,namely, to give them 12s. per week. ',This Mr. Hackling refused to comfly with, and it was only hy threatening-to-send for the Da - lice that lie got rid -of them Warrants were subsequently issued for the apprehenSion of the principal offenders, and one of the ringleaders laas since 'been 'committed for trial. At Exeter, the Town Courell'have determined on giving the police force of that city ail:vddition .cf 2s. per week to their present wages, which are now : 18s_. This arrang?ment, however, is only intended to be continued during the existence of the pre sent higi prices of provisions. NEM' CAUECII AZ READING, picas. —In the centre of the Castle Hill estate, fronting the Bath-road, in Read ing, a plot of ground:had been apportioned by the original proprietor .of the property, for a square, which was sur rounded by:a very •handsome iron pahsading, with large gates at each corner. The land having been recently pur chased for the Conservative Land Society, the executive committee have decided that the ground in the centre of the square shall be givenfor the erection of a new church, the increasing population of Reading rendering the gift very useful and beneficial to the locality. This is the second grant of land for the building of a church by the Conservative Land Society, TIIE RUSSELL INSTLTUMN IN GREAT 0c,8.A.M-STREET, LONDON, has sought to be exonerated from ,parish rates, under the Parochial Assessments Act, as being instituted for the purposes of literature, science, and the fine arts exclusively." After hearing arguments in the Queen's Bench on Wednesday, Lord Campbell gave judgment against the institution. He •noticed that newspapers were taken in there, that politics Were -studied as well as,science, and a magazine or Bradshaw's Railway Guide found more readers than " Newton's Principia." The objects of the establishment were highly laudable, and its utility great ; but it was not entitled ;to exemption from the or dinary parochial burdens. Mustnms IN DEAN FostEsx.—At okocking murder thas been committed in the township of West Dean, a blatlic smith, *Lamed Henry Jones, having fallen by the hand of a man of the same name. The deceased had, after finish ing his day's work, been drinking at a public-house, called the British Lion, and left that lilac,* of entertainment about eleven o'clock for his home. He had got within a short distance of his home, when the prisoner met him and accused him of waylaying him in the highway for the purpose of robbing him. The deceased denied that he had any such intention, and blows followed between the parties, when the prisoner drew a knife from his pocket and plunged it into the deceased's abdomen, causing his bowels to protrude to the length of three or four feet. The groans of the wounded man were heard by his wife at her cottage, and he was taken home, where the surgeon was promptly in attendance, but the deceased died in a few hours afterwards, the intestines having also been cut. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Henry Jones, who was committed for trial at Gloucester Assizes. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND TILLS.—EXTRAORDINAY CURE OF A BA D LEG.-Mr. John Allen, of No. 17, Denmark street; Leicester, was afflicted with a bad foot for three years, during which time he was under medical treatment without obtaining any relief, or even mitigation to his sufferings. He was strongly recommended to have his foot amputated ; but this operation he positively objected to, and, after lingering for some time longer in dreadful agony, he commented using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and, by continuing these in valuable medicines for a comparatively short period, he was completely cured, and his foot is now as sound as ever. He, therefore, recommends these remedies to others similarly afflicted. ASTHMA and BRONCHITIS have for years puzzled the most eminent of the Faculty. In Hooper's Physician's Pocket Book, edited by Ryan, it is acknowledged that no treat ment then known had been successful ; such is still the opinion of many. A substance new to the profession has, however, been introduced (Brande's Bronchial Sedative) which has been successful in many cases of a most obstinate character, in confirmation of which we quote the following important medical testimonial by M. Michea, recently pub lished in the Repertoire de Pharinacie, Paris :—" I have frequently taken occasion to exhibit this substance in cases of bronchitis, chronic catarrh, pulmonary phthisis, asthma, and other affections of the chest. I must say I have derived highly favourable results from its application. Th e action which this medicine exercises upon the respiratory organs seems to he both stimulating and sedative; it abates the violence of the cough, and iiminishes or relieves altogether the oppression of the chest, by facilitating expectoration. I feel even inclined to believe that it exercises a special action (and such as no other remedy is known to exercise) upon the respiratory organs. Some facts that have come under my personal notice have convinced me that Lange was perfectly justified in his assertion that it stops the spitting of blood and arrests the formation of pulmonary tubercles. It can be obtained through any chemist or medicine vendor in the vaited Kingdom ; or of any of the agents for Brandoll Enamel THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.

Delamarre's steeple-chasers, Lady Arthur (engaged in the Grand National at Liverpool), Flying Buck, and Caurire, have arrived in England, under the care of T. Donaldson, to be trained for their engagements. Balrownie, Haricot, Captain Cornish, Braxey, 14fonimia, Penitent, Ulster, Puritan, Merry Monk, Shunting, Hand some Buck, St. Stephen, and Lady Frances are struck out of Chester Cup. Barrel, l3oddicot, Hazlenut, Amos, Cobnut, Domino, Talfourd, Pearl, Caliph, Baalbec, Pauline. Ptolemy, Billing ham, Llanforda. Bird-on-the-Wing, Charley, Waterfall, Exhibition, Vinaigrette, and Miss Martin colt, are struck out of the Great Northern Handicap, York. The brood mares Refraction, Cuckoo, officious, Reel, and another, purchased from the Duke of Richmond, have arrived at M. Lupin's stud farm, Vancressin, near Paris. Refraction will be put to the Baron, and Officious and Cuckoo to Laner cost. _ The stallions now located at the government hams, at Paris, are the Baron, Lanercost, lago, Nunnykirk, and St. Germain. The subscription to the . Baron amounted to 77, but as the number of mares were limited to 35, the plan of draw ing by by lottery was resorted to, when M. Lupin and M. Fasquel were fortunate in obtaining half a dozen nominations each. The subscription to Lanercest limited to 40 is full, but that to lago numbers a dozen only. STRETFORD STEEPLE CRISES.—These chases were origi natty announced for decision on Mr. Lambert's farm, near the Trafford Hotel, Stretford, on the 2d January ; but, in con sequence of the severe weather, they were then postponed sine die, and they have tow been altogether abandoned. In lieu thereof, however, it i sintended to bold a race meeting, on the sameground. on Monday, the 27th February; and, as Liver pool races are'fixed Tor a subsequent day in the same week, the promoters of the forthcoming meeting at Stretford anti cipate a numerous•entry and some good sport.

THE ADMIRALTY have commissioned another screw ship of the line, the James Watt, of 91 guns and 600 horse-power, and it is said that there is some intention of building an immense screw line-of-battle-ship, capable of carrying 250 guns. NEW STEAM-SICIP.—The new steamer William Norris, which is to make the passage to Europe in five or six days, is rapidly approaching completion. Her outside is nearly finished. This vessel is simply flat and sharp, with a good model for running fast in smooth water. She is made unusually strong, by having her timbers strapped diagonally with bars of iron, and by an iron kelson ex tending from the keel to the deck, excepting in the central part of the vessel devoted to the engine. This kelson is composed of two parallel sheets of iron near half an inch in thickness, less than a foot apart, and so fashioned and connected as to form a water-tank. On either side of this kelson are big kelsons, formed in the same manner, also connecting with the deck. It is expected that these unusual supports will give such an amount of strength and solidity to the steamer as to make her excel all other vessels of similar dimensions. We are bound to speak with diffidence in the presence of scientific naval architects, but our conviction is, that no more strength is gained by this construction than would be by expending a fourth part of the money in a fabric of proper wooden supports. The Arctic exploring vessels and the New foundland sealers have shown conclusively that wooden structures are fully adequate to all demands upon their powers of resistance, and these are as great as any to which any sea-going craft can be subjected. Indeed, we doubt if wood and iron in the combinations on board the William Norris will prove to be so effectual for strength as either used by itself. But the main thing to be .tested hi this vessel, is not her ability to resist the wind and waves of the Atlantic, which she is very likely to do suc cessfully, but her model. If she does not prove too flat and to draw too little water to be a good or safe sea-boat, it will be a new experience in naval architecture.—Nese York Tribune. THE HIMALATIt , ..-Tht colossal screw steam-ship Hima laya sailed from Southampton, on Friday week, with the Tridia and China mails. She took out about ninety passengers, specie to the value of £155,000, and about 200 tons of cargo. Her commaraer is Captain Kellock, an .able and experienced officer. At half-past two the mans were put on board and given in charge to Lieut. La Tonebe, R.N., the Admiralty agent. The Himalaya was then lying at the north-western side of the dock, with her bowsprit and jibboon towering fifty feet over the dock quay, in an oppo site direction from the mouth of the dock. Immediately after the mails were on board a powerful Steam-tug took her in tow, and, after immense and 'continuous efforts, the huge ship was brought round, and towed carefully and slowly oat of the dock, her immense screw assisting in the .operation, and causing by its 'movements a gigantic whirlpool 'around the ship's stern. The pilot, who had the 'command of her from Southampton to the Needles, was on 'the gangway gesticulating convulsively, or scream ing through a monster speaking4rnmpet, while officers were stationed at all parts of the ship repeating or inter preting his orders. The great - ship appeared perfectly manageable, and was turned 'sharply round from the 'docks 'to the Itchen River bynmans of warps and 'the steam -tug, when her enormous !length winded gracefully ;along the serpent-like channel "which leads to the Sontlis ampton Water. The Himalaya , drew about eighteen Feet .of-water forward, and about twenty feet aft, as she left Southampton. Four men . were stationed at the a v b e el. The sideboard in the grand -saloon cost 600 guineas, and 'is 'the handsomest sideboard - float. The fitting - up of the ladies' saloon cost £7OO. The panels in the dining saloon ' , are covered with exquisite'paintings of fruits anailowers. Every patent invention for'Pe improvement or adornment of steam-packets has 'been introduced into the Himalaya. The cabins are ventilated by invisible means'; 'beautiful window curtains ascend ;and descend by the touch of a spring, : the port-holes 1--. ave double sash winnows. At tached to the snrgeor2s cabin is an apothecaries' shop. The officers and crew "g umber nearly 160 'persons, the largest number ever tmployed in a merchant-ship. 'Sitch is the enormous size 'Of the Himalaya, thafif the hull of the ship in which 'Cklumbus discovered 'America were slung at her stern, -she might almost pass for one , of her boats. TUE RED J>te:gt.:, NEW AMERICANiCE/EPEI2.—IIg, Elridge (late captain of the steam-yacht North Star, snit of the packet-ship Roscius), arrived it the Mersey en Tuesday afternoon, after an unprecedented run of 13 days, one hour, and '.f6 minutes, having left 'Sew York on'the 11th inst. She is one of the handsomest - vessels:ever built, possessiug, with the greatest symmetry- of 'mad, immense strcagth and carrying capscity. Her'dimen sions are as Mows :—Registered length, :250 'feet ((ex treme 260).; team, 45 feet; depth of hold aniidships, 24 feet ; rise forward, 3 feet ; registered measurement,:2,34o tons ; burthen,' 3,500 tons. The following are her , ilaily runs :—Weckesday, 11th, 103 miles ; , 12th, 150; 13th, 265 ; 14th, 311; 15th, 217 ; 16th, 106 ; 17th,1121,; 18th, 319 ; 19th, 413 ; 20th, 374 ; 21st, :842 ; 22nd, 301; and 23rd, 371 nines. The distance Turnoff - the 19th inst., 413 miles, is the greatest distance ever obtained in-2.1 sours by anything,,alloat. AMERICJIV :MERCHANT SEINSN.—It is inteabled to enact a code of laws for the better regulation awl disci pline of bite merchant navy of the United State. The proposed - regulations, as sketched by the American paper, are in some degree copied from , our merchant. seamen's act, the , memantile marine act, , and other recent enact ments for:the discipline of the menhant navy of England; but the provisions of the American law prothise to be much mere stringent than those of this country. 'Many of our seamen have thoughtlessly threatened to betake them selves to the United States, under an impresSion that thcy I—...,,,unject iv less restraint-an tne American than in the Ea3glisb. service. We have frequently told them that they woad find their error should they try the experi ment. ;Let us also remind them that, in the United States; there is a public prosecutor appointed to enforce the law against seamen ; it is not there, as with us, leit to the option -of shipowner or a commander to prosecute offences. —Shippivy Gazette. RAVS,ATOAILD.—A statement made by the mate ,of the Dewdrop?of Whitby, which w.amvrecked at Arbroath on WedneStlFy , se'nnight, would seem t o con fi rm :the pro verb; that Rats do leave dangerous places." He says the vessel had for s a long time' been infested with thou sands of :rats, but, on the night before they left Hartle pool , on the present fatal voyage, 4the vermin disappeared, not a rat being seen where a darlefore they migl4 have been emented by the dozen. REMO'RLL of Goons IN BONE.—It has lately been proposed at the Customs that firms who have frequently to give.semrity for the removal otgoods in bond froze one port to another should give one general bond, instead of specific bonds, as heretofore. They Customs' Reform Com mittee, Jaonever, have published:.a -statement . farnUhed them by Mr. Morgan, their secretary, to the effeetthat the plan will open the door to . fraudulent clearances by any persons' ho may be disposed to,olear his goods omthe security of smother person's bond, k besides being liable to other grave objections. It is contended, therefore; tkat the existing :sytem should not be Altered, except by rc ducing the !price of the bond stamp, And substituting:a un if orm ch*sge of a shilling "for , the •present ridiculous graduated scale." The motive for •the attempted altera tion is not km - vvii, as it is believed there were no com plaints againstithe practice of giving bonds in each case. THE COAL ,A,ICD IRON TRADE.--TIIC .coal trade continues unabated in vigour, and unparalleled in its, emand, and ..everything that is drawn out of the pits :in the shape ,of coal is cleared off with great .avidity. The frost is .so far gone that the boats find little difficulty in travelling upon the canals. Good iironstonels in great ; request, and continues very scarce. The iron trade was •never in a more healthy condition thnn. alp-resent. The equilibrium seems now to be more than established be ttween the make of pigs and their conversion into mann •ffietured iron, which.eircumstance has given.a : firmer tone to the pig trade. The extension of mills and forges is ,one of ,the causes of this healthy state of things. The number of furnaces now at work in South Staffordshire is 123, and the weekly maize nearly 13,000 tom. The quan tity .of puddling furnaces in East Worcestershire •and South Staffordshire is 1,600, and the total quantity of pigs worked up is about 16,000 tons, giving 3,oootons more used in manufacture than in the make of pigs. This circumstance, if it continues, will necessarily keep ,up Abe prime of ,pigs ;and of fuel.—Woverhanipton Herald. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-THURSDAY.

MANCiIIEtiTER.—The accounts from America at ,the be ginning of the week having again brought reports of lower prices for.cotton, and the uncertainty that exists of the peace of Europe being maintained, .caused considerable dulness in this market, wiaich has since =tinned without alleviation. For yarns, in most instances prices about id below the rates of last week would be accepted. India yarns have not been in much request, and no better can be said of mule yarns, for the German market, which have also been very quiet. Menu. facturers continue to exercise much eircusmpection, and are not by any means exteasive purchasers. The demand for all descriptions of goods has been very limited, by which buyers are placed in a somewhat more favourable position; find at the same time, only a slight advantage can be marked. ROCHDALE.—The wool market remains inactive, but prices continue firm. LEEDS.—At our Cloth-halls on Tuesday there was much less business done than on the previous Saturday. There has, however, been a very large quantity of goods sold by commis_ sion hands, out of the halls, and, with the deliveries to order, have made up a full average business this week. Business has been rather dull in the warehouses. BRAGFORD.—WOOI: The uncertainty of political events has the effect of adding to the previous dulness, wool for some time having been held for prices too high to induce the spin ners to buy. Noils and brokes are dull, and but few making : Yarns : The spinners find great difficulty in keeping their works employed four days per week, and the raw material being held for prices inconsistent with the price of yarns, there seems no hope of anything except further curtailment. Prices : The period is now drawing near when greater activity is usually manifested by the home trade houses for spring. Up to this time there has been but little preparation made, the merchants generally holding a very small stock, and the transactions to-day are not distinguishable either by increased sales or altered prices. NOTTING/MM.—The condition of the lace trade is not so satisfactory as we had reason to hope it would be, judging by experience of the quantity of business done in this month for many years past, which has generally been a season when great activity has usually been experienced. A few fancy ar ticles are inquired for, but these principally from entirely new designs. The hosiery trade is also much less active than at this time last year. Some few houses are busy, but the generality of them are fiat.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 27.—1 n the absence of any important buyers from the interior at this morning's market, and having only a moderate attendance of the local trade, we ex perienced a languid inquiry for wheats of all descriptions, and where sales have been effected a reduction of 2d to 3d per bushel has been submitted to. The transactions in flour are on an equally limited scale, at a decline of Gd to 9d per barrel, more especially with regard to parcels landing from the ship; Spanish and other sack flour Is to 2s cheaper. Barley in fair request, and fully supports recent quotations. Beans remain without change in value, but difficult to proceed with beyond retail quantity. Oats and Oatmeal are a slow sale at Tues day's prices. The inquiry for Indian corn continues un abated, and we note prices of all kinds of yellow is per qr. higher than in the early part of the week ; white corn is also slightly enhanced in value. Since our last report the weather has been variable, but generally mild, and for the wheat plant, as well as for the culture of the soil, favourable. BRITISH. FOREIGN. Wheat, as 70th., s. d. s. d.
