I hailed the driver, told him there was a a lying on the road, and cautioned him not to go r the body of the deceased. Mr. Worrall and his ;on we iii me back to the spot, after we had got a light ; on coming there, we found that the deceased had been put into the coach, and was brought to the White Horse, in Disley. Mr. Worrall's son after wards went for medical assistance, and two doctors ar rived. Inquiry was then set on foot as to the person who might have caused the accident; and it was at last ascertained, on application to the toll-keeper, that Mr. James Ingham, of the firm of Ingham and Yates, of New Mills, had passed the gate a short time before, and that he was the only person that had passed that night in a similar conveyance. I afterwards went to New Mills to see Mr. Ingham; I met him in the lane ading to his house. He was quite sober, and I took n and said to him, " Have you not been to town et to-day, Mr. Ingham ?" He said, " Yes, I said again, " And have you met with any or to ma mishap on the road--any strange occurrence ?" He answered, " Yes I have been attacked by two men." I then said, " Well, Mr. Ingham, whatever you may think about that, I am sorry to have to tell you, but I you have been the death of poor John Emery, ey." He seemed very much affected at this in ce, and asked me what I would recommend him He said he had supposed himself to have been d by the men on the spot already mentioned ; that, as soon as he had returned, he had gone to _ _ of Disl partner, Mr. Yates, to tell him of the circumstance. le also mentioned, that he had nearly £2OO on him at e, and that he had been once attacked in nearly the same place, on a former occasion. We returned to Disley together, where we met Mr. Decane, the sur geon, who told us that the deceased was dead. Mr. Ingham and I stopped at the Ram's Head, in Disley, in a room in which the constable was ; and while there, am pulled out a memorandum , book, and read ndum of the transactions, which was made, liately after he got home, and before I He showed it to all present; it mitten in pencil, and, as nearly as I can recollect, ) the following effect :—" November 18, 1841. ked a man down about or near Disley Wood ; noon was overcast; there were two of them; I 'e I was attacked. Had on me at the time £199 16s. 4d." I think it would have been impossible for Mr. Ingham to have pulled up in time at the rate at which he was going. It did not seem to me that he was driving recklessly, though certainly at a greater rate than I, for my own safety, should have preferred been driven, at that time of night, and in the dark. The spot where the accident occurred is very lonely; it is a distance from any house; and I have heard of robberies being committed there before- I think it very possible that Mr. Ingham might have supposed that he was about to be attacked, especially as the de ceased held up both arms, with a stick in one hand. The surgeon then described the wounds, and, the coroner having summed up the evidence, the jury re turned a verdict of " Homicide by inadvertence." _ The deceased was much respected, and it is the inten tion of Mr. Ingham to allow his widow and child an annuity for their maintenance.

The wretched man had quarrelled with his wife, Sarah Hickson, about some domestic matter, upon which he seized a poker, and struck her a dreadful blow on the head, and afterwards destroyed himself, by cutting his throat with a razor. An inquest was held on the bodies on Friday night, and, after being sworn, the jury proceeded to view them. They were found lying side by side on a slightly raised rilatform in a small, neatly furnished room, in Owen 's-square, New George-street. The sight was a most appalling one, the throat of the man being cut from ear to ear, whilst the wo man's skull was literally smashed to pieces. The floor was deluged with blood, but partly covered with sawdust. Im mediately over the corpses was a portrait of Hickson, painted in oil by himself. I n ano th er p ar t of the room was a paint ing of Christ, in the same style as the portrait, and executed by the deceased. Selina Hickson, daughter of the deceased, deposed—l am going for eight years old, and lived with my father and mother. They quarrelled yesterday about marrying. My father went ow soon after breakfast this morning. He was deaf and dumb. He came back at twelve to-day, to his dinner. He came in dripping wet, and mother said she was so poorly she could scarcely wash for him. He was angry because there was not a dry waistcoat for him to put on. Mother talked to him with ber fingers. Father seemed in a passion when they were quarrelling, but I have seen him worse before. We were getting our dinners, and so was mother, when he came in. He took up a poker from the fireside and struck mother four or five times. She fell down on the hearth, and I never heard her speak again. Father took a razor from the cupboard top and cut his throat. Then I ran out. Hickson was in the employ of Mr. Binning, a coal-mer chant, as a coal-porter. It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. Binning, and other witnesses, that he had latterly be come jealous of his wife, in consequence of a man named Charles Richardson having been seen walking with her. Mr. Binning had spoken to Richardson on the subject, when be said, " he had walked with Hickson's wife, and would do so again." On being called before the jury liiehardson said that Hickson had once accused him of being connected with his wife—" but very little." He had never repeated the ac cusation, and he (Richardson) never met her at Binning's stables. Had spoken to her in the street, but nothing more. Never met her by appointment, and had only walked the length of a street with her when they met accidentally. Several jurymen said this witness wa the deaths of the deceased. rally guilty of The jury, in the case of the suicide, returned a verdict of "Temporary insanity," caused in their opinion by the im proper conduct of one of his fellow-workmen with reference to deceased's wife. In the case of the murder, the jury re turned the extraordinary verdict of " Excusable homicide." REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE CONNECTED WITH THE LATE DUKE OF KENT'S MARRIAGE. The following interesting narrative appeared several years ago in a work entitled Reminiscences of Men and Manners. By Pryse Lockhart Gordon, Esq. Vol. I. 374, &c. His Royal Highness the late Duke of Kent took up his abode in Brussels in the year 1816. As there was some dif ficulty in procuring him an appropriate residence in a good situqtion, his friend Vice-Admiral Donnelly ceded to his Ro3ll Highness his hotel, a superb mansion in the Place Royal, the property of Count de Maldeghan, which the Ad miral had rented on a lease, a few years of which were un expired. The duke's taste for architecture, embellishing, and adorning, was well known, and no one was surprised when a host of carpenters were put into requisition ; and in a few months the house was so altered and ornamented (and of course improved), that the young count, when invited to see what the royal duke had done, could hardly recognise his late abode. The extensive gardens next attracted his Royal Highness's attention, and were new modelled and re planted with the choicest flowers and rarest shrubs which the kingdom could produce. * * * * * But hardly had this little Elysium been completed when a melancholy event occurred that compelled the duke to quit Brussels for some months. The event to which I have alluded was the death of the deeply-lamented Princess Charlotte. The news reached Brussels on Sunday morning, at eleven o'clock, by a courier. It flew from ear to ear like wild fire, and certainly no event ever occurred, public or private, which excited such general grief. I happened to be walking in the Parc with a friend, a member of parliament, when we were told the sad tale. In order to ascertain its truth, we walked to the Duke's hotel, when it was but too well confirmed. My friend wrote his name in the book, and we returned to the promenade. which was shortly interrupted by a messenger from his royal highness, requesting the immediate presence of the senator. I continued my walk, and within an hour was again joined by this gentleman. ' I have,' said he, had a most curious conversation with the duke ; and so interesting, that I shall go home immediately and put it in writing, while it is fresh in my memory ; and if you will call on me in a couple of hours, I will show you my minute.' He had just finished this document when I entered, and he read it to me : it was to the following effect The Duke seemed greatly affected on my entrance ; he was talking with his secretary, who im mediately withdrew. " This unexpected and melancholy event," said his royal highness, " will affect every loyal Bri tish subject ; and, independent of the regret which all must feel at the premature fate of the presumptive heiress to the throne, and so amiable and so generally beloved a Princess as my niece, her death is to be highly regretted as a political event. To me it is, perhaps, more important than to any other member of the royal family. The country will now look up to me, Mr. C., to give them an heir to the crown. England will expect me to marry immediately ; but I must take a preliminary step, and it is on this account that I have requested to see you I intend to espouse a Princess, who I think would be highly acceptable to the nation for many reasons. I have seen her, and have the highest opi nion of her dispositions and manners I shall go to England to conclude the necessary arrangements for my marriage, and proceed immediately to Amorbach, where the Princess resides, and where I shall probably take up my re sidence." ' This is but an imperfect sketch of the minute which my friend read. Had it not been for the deep regret which we both felt for the poor Princess, we could not have retained our gravity at what we considered such an utopian scheme ; improbable, however, as it appeared, it was realised in a few months." Since the 'above statement was first published, the Duke's almost prophetic anticipations have been completely verified. The result of his marriage was the birth of the Princess Vic toria, who now holds the sceptre of these realms. The Duke's sudden resolution seems the more extraordinary, when it is considered that at the time of the Princess Char. lotte's death, the Prince Regent (afterwards George IV.) was still alive, together with the Dukes of York and Cla rence, both unmarried, and both standing, in the order of succession, before the Duke of Kent. ~assengers on board xreat Liverpool.—liampshire Telegraph THE EARL OF ELGPT.—The death of this ~,„ a vacancy in the representation of South 1, his son (late Lord Bruce, now Earl of Elgin) being its tory representatives.

The Gazelle des Tribunaux states that a forgery, accom panied with some extraordinary circumstances and skilful arrangements, brought M. Peyre, alias Peters, before the Court of Assizes of Paris on Friday last. _ _ . " Some years since a Frenchman, named Jean Courtois, the issue of a family of needy cultivators in the department of the Moselle, died in England, leaving a considerable for tune. The report of this circumstance having been circulated throughout France by the press excited the desires of Peters, who from that moment turned his attention to the manner by which he might convert it to his advantage. In 1839 he set out for England, appeared before a notary in Loudon, accompanied by a person who represented himself as Jean Courtois, and who, in the presence of two witnesses, signed an almost unlimited power of attorney authorizing Peters to administer the property, giving him one-third for his trouble. " Provided viitlithi; document he returned to France, and forged an agreement, by which an Englishman, named Richardson, representing the house of Thompson, Allusen, and Co., of Newcastle, purchased the right to Jean Conrtois' property for 2,000,000 tons of coal, of the value of 23,000,000 of francs, to be delievered to Peters. This was not all. In order to give this agreement an authentic appearance it was necessary to have it legalized by the English consul, and the difficulty was how to present himself in company with Richardson, who did not exist. This was a trifle for cun ning Peters, who, taking advantage of an acquaintance which he formed at the British embassy, succeeded in obtaining the formality required. " Towards the conclusion of June, 1840, Peters addressed himself to M. Delamaire, at Paris, banker, and asked him to undertake the sale of 2,000,000 tons of coal, which were to arrive in a short time, as they had been shipped on board six ships, and were then at sea. The agreement was produced, perfectly regular, independently of which Peters had a pre possessing manner, which contributed to his success. M. Delamaire, however, before he would engage in such a serious matter, wished for references. Peters readily gave him every satisfaction on that head, and wrote a letter. in his presence to Thompson. Allusen, and Co. He at the same time in formed M. Delamaire that he required 8000 f. to pay for some furniture which he had purchased, and which sum the banker immediately' advanced. " M. Delamaire was not the only person swindled in this manner. Another merchant, M. Gallouin, imposed' on by the same fraudulent msnceuvres, wrote to to his correspond ents, and prepared extensive stores in different countries to receive the immense quantity of coal that Peters was every day pretending to expect. He was even about to make him an advance of money, when he heard he was in custody of the police. M. Delamaire, finding that various creditors were coming after Peters, and not having received any answer from Newcastle, had him arrested. " When in the hands of the police, Peters persisted in maintaining the authenticity of Richardson's agreement, and that he was really expecting the coals from Newcastle. He produced letters, having the Newcastle post-mark, but it was ascertained that the post-office stamp was forged ; that the letters were written by Peters himself; and that no such house existed at Newcastle as that of Thompson, Allusen, and Co. " On Peters's trial Mr. Pickford, the British Consul, de clared that no person of the name of Richardson accompanied Reters, and that he only legalized the signature of the latter. " Peters persisted in his system of denial, and declared that he still expected the coals. " The prosecution was conducted by the Attorney-General, and the defence by M. Coral. " Peyre, alias Peters having been found guilty by the jury, was sentenced to stand in the pillory, to remain at the gallies for nine years and to pay a fine of 150 francs." FATAL ACCIDENTS AT SEA.—Mr. Robert Moon, one of the Cinque Ports' pilots at Dover, went on duty on board a large ship, to pilot her up the river, and whilst off the Nore he was struck by the tiller, which knocked him off the poop, and, falling on his head upon deck, a height of 10 feet, the vertebrae of his neck were dislocated. He has left a wife and nine children. A pilot, named Pilcher, who went up the river with a vessel, states that the captain of the same vessel was also knocked overboard and drowned. HARTLEPOOL.—TWELVE VESSELS 'ON SHORS.—Our correspondent at Hartlepool has furnished us in detail with the particulars of the situation of the vessels which have been stranded or wrecked on this coast, between Hartlepool and the little watering-place at about three miles distance, Sea ton Carew. It was on Saturday afternoon that the wind began to blow very strong from the E.N.E., and it continued to increase in violence all night. On Sunday morning, and during the day, a great many vessels were observed making for the Tees, some of which succeeded in getting into this port ; others, after vainly attempting to ride it out, were driven on the Seaton sands. Those which came on shore on the Hartlepool and Seaton sands are 12 in number, as follows : —The Garland, of Sunderland, in ballast ; the Hartford, of Weymouth, in ballast ; the William, a schooner, belonging to Berwick, loaded with iron ; and the Reindeer, of Har tlepool, in ballast; all of which are not much worse, and may be expected to be got off without much difficulty. The Aerial, of Sunderland, and the Shannon, of Sunderland, though considerably damaged, are expected to be got off. The Albatross, Williamson, of Hartlepool, corn laden, is also seriously damaged, but will be eventually got off. The Lochiel, a little sloop, from Inverness, with pit props, has become a total wreck. The Elisabeth, Newton of Boston, coal laden, is also entirely wrecked, as is the Ahone, Strom!. of Rochester, also coal laden, and the Exchange, Smith, of Lynn, in ballast.

Triz Lr CKY LIVING. —(From a Correspondent.)—The vicarage of Sutton-on-the-Forest, near York, in the presen tation of his Grace the Archbishop, has gained this appella tion from the very extraordinary fact that there are no less than eight successive vicars now alive, every one of whom is a dignitary of the church. These fortunate individuals are Dr. Webber, Dean of Ripon ; lion. E. Rice, Dean of Glou cester; the Rev. Archdeacon Harcourt, the Bishop of St. Asaph ; Hon. G. Pellew, Dean of Norwich ; Hon. H. How ard, Dean of Lichfield; the Rev. H. Dixon, Canon of York and Ripon; and the present incumbent, the Rev. S. Creyke, recently appointed to a canonry at York. Lord Nugent, disappointed of a seat in the legislature, sought and readily obtained from the stern patriots of Mary lebone—who dearly love a lord—a seat in the Anti-Corn League. His lordship's good taste has, however, at last in duced him to withdraw from an assembly, the staple argu ments of which were abuse and slander of his nearest relative. Unable to become the mentor of the league, Lord Nugent now threatens to become its censor ; his lordship appears wishful to persue what is termed an independent course; but it is to be apprehended that the noble lord will continue to realise Mr. Canning's joke, by still exhibiting an enormous breach of neutrality. in prozies NOVEL APPLICATION OF THE DAGUERROTYPE.—The French police have availed themselves of the expedition and accuracy of this mode of taking likenesses. As soon as a great or notorious criminal falls into their hands, they take his likeness by means of the Daguerreotype, and send copies of it to the several agents of police ; so that, if he should escape from one charge, he may, if accused of another, in a different part of France, be easily recognised as an old offender. Certainly M. Daguerre never contemplated such an application of his type. Les agent de police, as they are called, are much indebted to him. IMPORTANT TO TOLLGATE KEEPERS.—John Alston, keeper of the Netherfield tollgate, Westmoreland, appeared before the magistrates at the Town-hall, Kendal, on Friday, to answer a charge laid by the post-office inspector for de taining the mail on the sth of October last at the tollbar. Mr. Pearson, of Kirkby Lonsdale, appeared on behalf of Alston, and Mr. Dunn on behalf of the post-office. The case was gone into at considerable length, and, after a patient consideration of several apparently conflicting acts of parlia ment, Alston was convicted of the charge and ordered to pay a fine, mitigated: l / 4 )n account of the slight nature of the of fence, to one farthing, together with costs. IMPORTANT TO TAILORS,—A curious trial, illustrating one of the absurdities which still remain unrepealed on the statute book, occurred in the Court of Queen's Bench on Saturday. A tailor, named Goodman, had brought an action for goods sold and delivered against a person of the name of Moran. The latter, probably under the counsel of some attorney of " sharp practice," pleaded that the buttons were illegitimate, and the button-holes breaches of the law, supporting his plea by a statute of George I. passed in 1722, and still remaining on the books, by which it is made nnlawful for any person to use or wear buttons made or bound with cloth, &c., "or of any staff whereof cloths or wearing garments are usually made," under penalty of forfeiting 40s. for every dozen of such buttons worn. The plaintiff's counsel obtained a rule nisi on the ground that the act was not directed against tai lors making, but against persons wearing, unlawful buttons ; and this important button case, which naturally recalls the proposal of the facetious author of " Tristram Shandy," to write a chapter on button-holes, will have to be decided with due gravity in the Court of Queen's Bench. The act was probably passed to protect the metal button manufacturers ; but since that time a statute of George IV. has repealed the law against the importation of buttons from abroad. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On the night of the 7th instant, Anne Carolan, widow of Joseph Carolan, who has been for years addicted to intemperance, went to bed, as usual, with her daughter, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years of age, and the servant maid ; and some time during the night she got up and dressed herself unperceived, procured a hank of yarn, put the noose of one end round her neck, and the other she attached to the crook or crane of the kitchen fire-place, which was not more than about four feet from the ground ; and finding that that height would not suit her purpose, so determined was she upon committing the rash act she had meditated, that she very ingeniously bethought herself of twisting or twirling her body around until she shortened the hank of yarn ; and not finding that to answer, she contracted her legs until she succeeded in her diabolical purpose. The servant girl awoke some time before daylight, and, on miss ing her mistress out of bed, gave the alarm to the neigh bours, who found her in the situation described, quite dead, with the under part of her clothes and portions of her body burned. The jury found that the deceased died from stran gulation and hanging whilst labouring under temporary in sanity. The coroner ordered the police to have the body of the deceased interred after sunset, without benefit of clergy. —Drogheda Joarnal. AN ArFnAl.- WITH SMUGGLERS.—The Me'morial of Pau relates that, a few days ago, a brigadier of gendarmery, named Gasquet, and one of his men, Hias, were on the watch for smugglers near Mascuru, when they saw eleven men, all armed with bludgeons, and nine of them carrying packs, advancing by the road. Nothwithstanding the supe riority of numbers, the two gendarmes determined to do their duty, and, advancing towards the band, summoned them to lay down their burdens. This being refused, the gendarmes proceeded to make a seizure, and Gasquet received a severe blow with a bludgeon. He returned this with a shot from his carbine and a lunge with his bayonet, but, being severely beaten about the body, and wounded in the leg, and at the same time believing that his comrade was killed, he con trived to escape into a wood, and thence made his way back to the village. Hias fought with great obstinacy until he was disarmed, and had no more means of defence, when he made a feint and fell as if killed. The smugglers, believing him dead, moved off, but on second thoughts retraced their steps, and determined to hang him on a tree In terrorem. Hias, however, had contrived to drag himself into concealment among some rocks, and thus saved himself from his intended fate. Although the gendarmes fired only two shots; one of the smugglers was killed, and two wounded in the shoulder. All the survivors have since been captured, and are now in custody. SERIOUS OUTRAGE. — On the night of Thursday last, about nine o'clock, as James Musgrave and Wm. Roberts, two gamewatchers, in the employ of the Marquis of West minster, were on the look-out for poachers, in the noble Marquis's carriage drive, near Pulford Lodge, they saw two men pass by, and go up the drive towards Eaton, whom they suspected, from their appearance, were either going to shoot or set nets for game. They did not then say anything to them, but in the course of about an hour and a half, the same two men returned, in company with a third person. Two of them carried a sack ; and the watchers suspecting that they had been poaching, immediately went up to them, and demanded who they were, and what they had got in their sacks. One of the men then threw his sack on the ground, and succeeded in snaking his escape. Another allowed him self to be quietly captured by Musgrave ; but the third, who is a very powerful man, immediately attacked th e o th er watcher, Wm. Roberts, with a large stick. The latter de fended himself with a gun, as well as he was able, against his more athletic adversary, and a tremendous light ensued, in the course of which the combatants were completely satu rated with blood. The poacher was now getting the advan tage, and severely beating the keeper about the head, when the joint cries of himself and his comrades, attracted to the spot two other watchers, Wm. Hurst, jun. and James Dry land, by whom Roberts was eventually secured. The men were then taken into custody, and on examining the sacks, they were found to contain eleven turkeys, which were sub sequently ascertained to have been stolen from Mr. John Snelson's, farmer, of Poulton, on the same night. We are sorry to say, that Wm. Roberts, the watcher, lies in a very dangerous state. The prisoners have been fully committed for trial.—Chester Courant. SUICIDE OF A WEST INDIAN MEIICHANT.—On Friday morning last, at half-past eleven o'clock, an inquest was ta ken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the house, No. 9, Grove road, St. John's-wood, London, on view of the body of Grogan Mitchell, Esq., aged 64, a gentleman of independent fortune, resident as above, who committed suicide by shoot ing himself. Mrs. Margaret Nelson deposed that she lived near Cuckfield, in Sussex. Deceased was her uncle. He had for twenty-eight years been a West India merchant, and during that time resided at Tobago. About ten years ago, having amassed a large fortune, he retired, and coming over to England, had since resided in that house. Witness had been staying there since Tuesday week last, and she then came in consequence of having received anote from deceased, requesting her to do so, and informing her that his female servant had hung herself. On her arrival she ascertained that the inquest on the body of the young woman was just concluded. Deceased then appeared very much hurt at what had occurred, but seemed in his usual health. He was very much of eted with asthma, and could scarcely breathe, and one whole night since she had been there he was so bad that he sat up in an arm-chair by the side of the fire. On Tues day evening last, at which time he app eare d per f ect l y co ll ecte d , he made some alteration in a paper which she understood to be a will he had made some years ago, which he said peo ple ought always to do when they were in good health. She then, at his request, signed her name to it in two places, and he afterwards sent for two other persons, who also signed it. About ten minutes past eleven o'clock she was in bed, when some thing falling heavy, which sloe did not w nthe hou se , b ut w hi c h th e servant, who slept in the same room with h er , f e l t pos iti ve was , an d said she was afraid it was deceased fallen out of bed. Wit at think i Wit ness accordinglyalarmed r was ed i by hurried to his room, and, on entering, was horror-struck at finding him lying on the floor weltering in his blood. Having raised an alarm, a policeman entered, and a surgeon was sent for, who found that deceased had shot himself, and was quite dead. Witness last saw deceased alive at ten o'clock that night, at which time he was in bed, and in answer to her question as to whether he felt comfort able, he said, " Yes." Witness did not know that deceased was possessed of a pistol. She had never heard him threa ten to destroy himself. On Monday deceased told witness that, when half asleep and awake, strange fancies came into his head. The same night be was bled. O t h er ev id ence having been addi.ced, thejury after a lengthened discussion, returned a verdict," That deceased was found de a d o f cer t a in mortal injuries inflicted on himself with a pistol, and, at the time of the suicide, he was insane."

Ti —The deliveries of tea, last -ht days, being ) to Friday THE BISHOPRIC OP JfAT/SALEM The Prussian States Gazette of' tha 17th inst.. publishes an exposition of the motives which induced his majesty the King of Prussia to open negotiations with the British govern ment for the establishment of a protestant bishopric in Pales tine. The following is the circular which M. Eichliorn, mi nister of religious worship, addressed for this purpose to each of the regencies of the kingdom : " His majesty the king has taken advantage of his partici pation in the preservation of peace in the east, to procure for the future a protection for the evangelical church in Turkey, similar to that enjoyed by the Greek and Latin churches in in that country. As this affair is connected with the most important political rights, to the privation of which evange lical christians were heretofore exposed by the violent and arbitrary conduct of the local authorities, the advantage which his majesty has endeavoured to obtain for them by his influence is so much the greater, as, setting aside scientific interests and the advancement of religion, which inspire a superior ardour, the progress of commerce will hereafter attract a greater number amongst them to create important establishments. In consequence of those considerations, the king has not hesitated, in concert with Great Britain, to make considerable sacrifices out of his private fortune, in order to secure for ever for the German evangelical church, which is the mother of all the evangelical confessions which exist, a position in the country where christianity was pro duced, in harmony with her dignity and her greatness, beside the Latin and Greek churches. " A church will be speedily built at Jerusalem for the Ger man protestants. It will be opened for their worship accord ing to their confession and their liturgy. But to secure this object an hospital must be constructed for evangelical travel lers of small fortune that scientific or religious pursuits may attract to Jerusalem. It will be necessary, likewise, to found a school. It is not necessary to explain the intimate relation which exists between these institutions and the influence of religion. His majesty has in consequence commanded, that for the completion of this object a general collection shall be made in the evangelical churches throughout the Prussian monarchy. The regency is invited to take the necessary measures to effect this collection. They will send me the same sums collected. The royal consistory shall receive a private circular announcing the Sunday fixed for this collec tion, and will appoint the clergymen who are to preside atit."

INFANT LABOUR.—An infant, in the parish of Snenton. near Nottingham, was taken from a free school which was bept by benevolent ladies. She was put to work by her mother, at home, being employed in drawing lace, when only 21 months old., She continued at that work two years, and is now at such work, working daily from six o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock at night, being allowed only a quar ter of an hour each for breakfast, dinner, and tea. The mother pays this infant one penny at the end of the week by way of encouragement. She has three or four children, and, when excusing herself for thus treating her infant, she said, " If I do not thus make my infant work, I should have to go to the workhouse F.!—The Fleet Papers. THE NEW COURTS OF EQUITY IN LINCOLN'S INN. — These courts, designed for the new Vice-Chancellors Wig ram and K. Bruce, have, in the short space of eight weeks, been completed and rendered tit for immediate occupation. The exterior of the building is of brick, plain and unassum ing, without the least attempt at architectural display. The entrances are of ample dimensions, and well calculated to afford every facility of ingress and egress, and also to secure good internal communication between the courts. The in terior appears commodious, light, and convenient; and the simple, though neat, unostentatious, decorations, have a very pleasing effect. The tables, &c., are covered with deep crimson cloth, the curtains of drab moreen damask. Though far from gaudy, the whole presents a grand appearance. On Sunday the Lord Chancellor, their honours, the Vice- Chancellors, and several friends. inspected the buildings, and were pleased to express their approbation of the excellence of their construction, as well as of the extraordinary expedition with which the builders (Messrs. Cubitt) had completed them. It is nndersLood that sittings will take place there, for the first time, on or about the 2d of December.. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN A COAL-PIT AT BARNSLEY.— On Wednesday morning about thirty-six colliers had gone to work in the coal-pit belonging to Messrs. Day and Twi bell, of this town, when an explosion of coal gals took place, which destroyed a great number of persons in a moment, and burnt a number of others, several of whom, it is feared, will not recover. Amongst the sufferers are E. Walton, W. Walton, and C—Walton, three brothers; B. Hinchliffe and C. Hinchliffe, two brothers ; C. Hinchliffe, uncle to the two preceding men; W. Scholey, R. Walker, J. Overend, D. Thompson, J. M'Carthy, J. Peas, C. Crow, J. Mitchell, and J. Deakin and C. Deakin, father and son, all of whom are dead. The coal-pit adjoins the, town, and the news of the misfortune spread amongst the relatives of the unfortunate workmen. Wives came to the mouth of the pit as the men were drawn up to know the fate of their husbands, and chil dren that of their parents, and an awful scene it was. The lire so disfigured them by burning off their eyebrows and whiskers that the women:at first could not recognize their own husbands and childeen. Lamentation and woe overpowered some, whilst others rejoiced at again meeting their friends. The accident has spread a gloom through the town. The ex tent of the loss is not ascertained with certainty, but it is hoped that there will not be many more cases of .a fatal character. SCARBOROUGH, Nov. 19.—(Extract of a letter.)—l have just witnessed an appalling accident, the fatal results of which are wholly, and without any abatement, owing to the crimi nal apathy and negligence of the authorities of this town. After a stormy night there was, at ten o'clock this morning, still a hard gale and a heavy sea, the wind E.S.E., when a small sloop, apparently of 25 or 30 tons, was descried making for the harbour. She had laboured through the waves till within a very short distance (a few boats' lengths) of the pier and of safety. when a heightened gust of wind and an enormous wave overset het' in an instant. Her crew, con sisting of two men and a boy, held on as long as their strength in a tempestuous surge permitted. The poor boy was visible the latest, still holding up his hands as he sank. In a very short time they had all disappeared. Had the life-boat be longing to this place been in readiness, every one of them could have been saved. But it was twenty minutes after the accident before the life-boat touched the waves ; and so hopeless was then the effort that, after proceeding about half-way towards the spot where the already broken frag ments of the vessel were floating, she returned back again. THE EXCHEQUER BILLS.—It has long been foreseen that the exchequer-hill affair must provide some employment for the courts of law, and that all holders of spurious bills, find ing that the government refused in any way to acknowledge them, would seek that other remedy. The name of Lord Strangford has been already before the public in this affair, and no one doubts his protestation against any knowledge of or participation in the original fraud. But this, unfortu nately, does not wholly protect his lordship from the conse quences of having induced parties to ingest their money in these bills, which afterwards, on investigation, turned out to be spurious, and it is currently stated in the city that he has been served with a notice of action by Messrs. Coutts and Co. ' connected with some such bills, of which that house has become possessed. In what manner his Lordship can have become responsible does not appear, and hence the sub ject is expected to exercise all sorts of ingenuity on both sides, on the part of the gentlemen of the long robe. The exchequer bills held by Messrs. Coutts and Co., are under stood to amount to £40,000. There are other houses and private individuals in similar circumstances, but we have not heard that any other step of that kind has been taken, and it is believed they are waiting for the result of the approaching trial of Rapallo at the criminal sessions, and in order to see by what kind of evidence the charge against him is supported by the government.—Times. EXCHEQUER BILLS.—At the present time, when the public feels so deep an interest in everything that relates to Exchequer bills, in consequence of the recent extensive for geries that have taken place. it may not be uninteresting to our readers to give them a short outline of the origin of this species of government securities. In the years 1696 and 1697, the silver currency of the kingdom being, by clipping, washing, grinding, filing, &c. reduced to half its nominal value, Acts of Parliament were passed for its being called in and recoined, but whilst the recoinage was going on, Ex chequer bills were first issued to supply the demands of trade. The quantity of silver recoined, according to D'Avenant, from the old hammered money, amounted to £5,725.933. It is worthy of remark that through the difficulties expe rienced by the Bank of England (which had been established only three years) during the recoinage, they having taken the clipped silver at its nominal value, and guineas at an advanced price, bank-notes were, in 1697, at a discount of from 15 to 20 per cent. " During the recoinage," says D'Avenant, " all great dealings were transacted by tallies, bank-bills, and goldsmiths' notes. Paper credit did not only supply the % place of running cash, but greatly multiplied the kingdom's stock, for tallies and bank-bills did to many uses serve as well, and to some better than gold and silver ; and this arti ficial wealth, which necessity had introduced, did not make us less feel the want of that treasure which the war and our losses at sea had drawn out of the nation." CASUALTY AT SEA.—The brig Sarah, of Bristol, John Mill, commander, sailed from Liverpool on the 31st ult. for Newfoundland, with a general cargo and passengers, Captain Sanders, R. V. C., and Mr. Cormack. She experienced a succession of gales from her leaving port, and on the night of the 13th instant, in latitude 48 20 N., longitude 8 15 W., whilst lying to, was run on board of by a bark of about 300 tons burden, and by the concussion the brig was totally dis masted, and the stranger is supposed to have had either her fore or maintopmast carried away. Providentially the crew of the Sarah were unhurt by the falling spars. On the fol lowing morning the brig Heroine, of Teignmouth, spoke her, and, rendering her no assistance, passed on her voyage. On the 15th the Prince Albert schooner, of Scilly, came up, and took her in tow ; but, after five hours' service, and two hawsers having snapped, she abandoned the brig most unac countably, taking with her the tow-ropes. The French trig Heroine, of Nantes, remained by her throughout most of the night, and, it is believed, was separated only by the violence of the gale and the prevailing darkness. Two small spars having been lashed to the stumps of the masts, studding sails were set thereto. The wind b e i ng i n h er favour she was enabled to reach the Blook-head on the morning of the 18th, when she was taken in tow by a Falmouth pilot cutter, and, anchored in that port, the remuneration being £2O and the customary pilotage. DUBLIN, Nov. 21.---THE TRIBUTE DAY.—The walls of the city were extensively placarded this morning with bills, dated " Mansion-house, Saturday evening," and 'signed " Daniel O'Connell," the purport of which is, that as the subscriber now holds the honourable post of chief magistrate of the second city in the empire, anything in the shape of eleemosynary aid towards the sustairunent of such dignity is earnestly entreated to be postponed till next year, and the writer calls on the faithful 8 ,000,000 in this, as in other in stances, implicitly to attend to the advice of their devoted friend, " Daniel O'Connell." The ruse (for, of course, such it was) might have told to the detriment of the great beggar man, had not the most prompt measures been taken by his emissaries to mutilate the placards ere any serious conse quences could have resulted from the hoax. All the chapel doors in the metropolis are vigilantly guarded to-day by the tribute sharks, who, by begging, beseeching, and bullying the persons about to attend divine worship, seem to be gathering in the harvest in a most workmanlike manner, and, from what I can learn, cannot fail of realising, so far as this city is con cerned, the most sanguine expectations of the right hon. the lord mayor of Dublin. A sum of £5B was collected at first mass in one of the poorest parishes in the metropolis, and double that sum, it is calculated, will be realised at the same chapel before the close of the day. There are about thirty chapels in Dublin and in the immediate suburbs, and, sup posing that the average amount collected at each at £lOO, which is by no means an over estimate—the metropolitan alone generally trebles that sum—Dublin will supply £3,000 towards swelling the begg,ing bags of the right hon. the lord mayor of Dublin. SHOCKING MURDER.—KENNILLY, Nov. 16.—This town and neighbourhood was thrown into a state of excitement on Sunday last, by the announcement of a most savage and brutal murder, whi c h it wa s a scertained had recently been committed at the finger-post of the Rushy Glen, King's County, on the body of an unfortunate female, named Catherine Carroll. At an early hour yesterday morning Mr. Dillon, one of the county coroners, arrived here on his way to the scene of this barbarous atrocity. After viewing the body, which presented a most revolting spectacle, he adjourned to a farm-house, more than two miles distant, the only ac commodation these wilds afforded, to hear evidence relative to this lamentable occurrence. The great mass of evidence adduced was of the strongest circumstantial nature, and satis factorily fixed the guilt on a person named John Gorman, of Moher, in the Queen's County, who was there amenable, and against whom a verdict was recorded, when the coroner consigned him to the custody of the police, for transmission to Tullamoore gaol, to abide his trial at the next assizes. He is a diminutive, repulsive-looking man, having a wife and large family of children. but by whom it appeared the ill-fated woman was far advanced in a state of pregnancy. The cir cumstances which combined to reveal this horrible murder, point out, as it were, the interference of Divine Providence in the direction of the murder, and corroborates the proof that, no matter how secret the deed be done, it cannot con ceal itself from the all-seeing eye of the great Creator, or the justice. During escape the avenging hand of retributive the night of Saturday some snow had fallen on the mountains, whereby the footsteps of the accused and the de ceased were traced - from his residence to the scene of the murder in the glen. Here one of the . gamekeepers of the Castle Berna r d estates, i rom ediatelyafter daylight on Sunday morning, observed a quantity of blood, foot-prints, and other marks on the road at the cross, and from thence to the Rushy Glen Lough, in which he discovered the mutilated body of the murdered female, with large stones thrown on it to pre vent its floatin g . Thi s person d e scribed with clearness an d precision the impression made by the right shoe of the indi vidual, whose steps led to and from the lough, marking the size of the heel, th e l eng th o f the sole, and the number of nailsit contained. An active and intelligent policem an , named Brennan, f rom th e Cadamstown station, traced th e footprints to and about the residence of the accused, and ul timately succeeded in procu ring the shoes, which were se creted in a neighbouring farm-house in the Queen's County, which were proved to belong to the prisoner, and which ex actly corresponded with the description of the impression made.—Leznster Express. The Minister of Public Worship, Eichhorn THE MURDER IN EASTCHEAP.—The verdict of " Wil" ful Murder" which was returned against the late Robert Blakesley, is the first of the kind on record in which the party had been previously axecuted. The nearest case in point occurred about 60 years ago, in the north of England, where a man murdered his wife, and so injured his son, aged 15 years, that he also died. The party was cast for death, but expired suddenly two days previous to the one appointed for his execution, and a verdict of " Wilful murder" was subsequently returned against him for causing the death of the son.

A slight con cession is occasionally made to the buyers, with a view to close sales of large parcels; with this exception, the market continues fair and unyielding in price. COTTON MARKET, NovEmnErt 25 Our Cotton market though fiat snd tame as heretofore, is nevertheless more animated in the wav of demand. Buyers seem disposed to operate more extensively, and are anxious to purchase in quantity, where it can be done at a reduction of the price paid in smaller quantities. The business yesterdy was estimated at 5,000 bales, and to-day 3,000. The market closes steadily. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, NOVEMBER 26. Thcre is:no change in the Potatoe market worthy of notiee since the 22nd instant. The little business doing is at the currency of that day, vix., Manx and Scotch Cups is 80 to is gd per 90 lb. We do not now anticipate any change for the better, until the turn of the year; after which, we fully expect that prices will gradually creep up. The quantity of Irish yet brought forward is only limited, but the general quality of which is superior to what we have seen for some seasons past. The Hay market continues well supplied by the neighbouring farmers, with au improved demand. Pink Eye Potatoes Is to 2s 4d; Cups is 9d to Is ; Short Tops is tid to is iod ; Cattle Is Id to is 5d per 90 lb. Turnips 24s to 26s Ed; Carrots 47s to sos per ton. Old Hay 8d to lld ; New 60 to lld ; Clover 7d to 9d per 20 lb. Wheat Straw 4d to sd; Oat 3id to 4id ; Barley lid to 4d per 24 lb. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, Nov 22 The supply of English Wheat to this morning's market was large, and of Foreign (which now all goes into bond) we had 28,705 quarters up to Saturday last. In consequence of the continued wet weather, English Wheat come to hand very damp and out of con dition. The trade is much lower; the finest descriptions being 2s per quarter, and inferior full 4s, cheaper. Barley is. larger in sup. ply, comprising 10,000 quarters alone from the home counties, and is also cheaper by Is than last week. Of Foreign Oats the supply is small, but of Irish upwards of 17,000 quarters, and about 7,000 of English and Scotch. New Oats are 6d to is lower, but old with out variation. New Beaus are the turn cheaper, and White and Grey Peas have declined Is to 2s per quarter. The supply of English Spring Corn is larger to this morning's market than for sonic time past. Flour comities nominally as last week. The Seed trade is without any material alteration, with little doing. . WEDNESDAY. Nov. 24 The business has been very clull this morning, without any change in the prices of Monday last, but a considerable reduction took place on that day in the value of English Wheat. The samples are so damp as to be almost useless to the millers, and the free foreign Wheat of superior quality is held at rates so excessive that the trade is limited to the most indispensable supplies. The stock of Oats is considerable at this tune, and the prices are not so firm as on the last market day. HULL CORN MARKET, Nov. 23 The stock of Linseed continues small, and last weeks arrivals have been taken at an advance of is to 2s per qr. Rapeseed has been in better demand, and some sales have been made at our quotations. Linseed cakes continue to be in fair demand. Rape cakes nominal. Bones still support their value. The market to day has been more than ordinarily inanimate, and where sales have been made, either by farmers or factors, lower prices have been submitted to. The weather has been very various, and the con dition of the new Wheat offering equally so; the best dry parcels met onty slow sale at a decline of fully 23 per qr. ; second qualities are altogether neglected. The old foreign is limited to the merest retail ; had buyers come forward for any quantity, lower prices would have been submitted to. Barley is offering more freeiy, and buyers may select their quantities at Is to 2s per qr. less money than last week. Beans and Peas may also be noted tally is per qr. lower. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, Nov There was a better show of both Beasts and Sheep to.day than there was last week. The quality, too, was very indifferent, there not being fifty prime Beasts at market. Beef was bought at a lower rate this week, but Mutton, if prime, supported last week's rates. Best Beef fetched Sid to d, middling 5d to Sid; best Mut ton 6ad to 7d, middling 6d to sad per lb. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, Nov 2.4 Short-horned Hides sold this day at 2ia per lb, Irish do 3d per 60 to 70 lbs, and large do 72 lbs and upwards aid ; Irish Sheep Skins 3s 2d to 3s 9d ; Cheviots and Half-bred 2s 6d to 3s ; Scotch 2s 6d to 3s.—Tallow 4s 9d per stone of 14 lbs. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 23 We have had a fair average supply of Wheat at market this day, and . prices for all descriptions remain unaltered. The greater por tion of Oats now coming to market appear in very bad condition— good samples met a free sale, while middling and inferior descrip tions were extremely dull. We note an advance of 6d per cwt on Oatmeal. Bakers' Flour without alteration in value—inferiors and thirds a dull sale. LIVERPOOL CORN E4CHANGE, Nov. 23 During the greater part of last week the weather was dry and frosty, which appeared to be bringing the land into tole rable order for the reception of the seed; but au unfavom a ble change towards the close, and very heavy rain th roug h ou t Sunday, again suspended the operation of Wheat-sowing, which hitherto has progressed very tediously around us under the disadvantage of a wet cohesive soil, and a considerable portion of the work still remains incomplete. Of English, Irish, Canadian, and Foreign Wheat unitedly, we have to note a fair supply into this port since Tuesday last ; but of other kinds of Grain, as well as Flour, the arri vals are only moderate ; whilst those of Oatmeal continue to come forward rather plentifully from Ireland. Our market to-day, although moderately well attended by town and country millers, was excessively dull for Wheat of all descriptions • insomuch that, beyond a very limit e d re t a il amount, scarcely any sales were feasible, and, except in a few particular instances, a decline of 3d. to 4d. per 701bs. was readily conceded on the part of holders. Flour also met a very languid sale, English and Irish re ceding in value Is. per sack, and foreign Gd. per barrel below the rates of last week. Malting Barley and Malt continued to meet very little no tice, at an abatement of is. per quarter, and grinding Barley hardly maintained former prices.
