Sheil, who died as our ambassador at Florence. Orders have beer. issued by the Admiralty that, on the Ganges arriving at Devonport, a steamer is to convey his body to Dublin.—United Service Gazette. THE FOG.—The city and suburbs of London were, on Friday, visited with a fog more dense than any which has occurred this year, or indeed during any year for the last eight or nine. All the shops, public-offices, and build ings, were lighted up with gas. On the river, the rail ways, and in the streets, the traffic was considerably interrupted, but no accident of a serious character oc curred. . . COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—On Tuesday, an inquiry was opened at the Plough-hotel, Cheltenham, to ascer tain the state of mind of J. G. Beavan, who is well known in Cheltenham as a gentleman of independent property, and a magistrate acting for this ,Istrict. After a protracted investigation the jury returned the following verdict:—" John Griffiths Beavan is of unsound mind, and has been so from the Ist day of June, 1851." PLANET BEYOND URANUS.---A curious fact for astro nomers has just been ascertained. In the pavers of the celebrated Lalonde, recently presented to the Academy of Sciences by M. Arago, there is a note to the effect that so far back as the 25th of October, 1800, he and Burkhardt were uf opinion, from calculations, that there must be a planet beyond Uranus, and they occupied themselves for some time in trying to discover its precise position. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE, AND SERIOUS Loss OF LIFE On Monday morning, at Fiskerton, near Southwell, a few miles from Newark. a flour mill became ignited by friction. Whilst carrying bags of grain and flour from the store room, four of the men engaged in this arduous duty were unhappily buried in the ruins of a large portion of the building, which fell whilst they were engaged within its precincts. DEATH OF THE EARL OF SUFFOLK AND BERKSHIRE. This venerable nobleman died on Thursday week, at Charlton House, near Malmesbury, in his 75th year. The late peer was Thomas Howard, Earl of Suffolk and Berk shire, Viscount Andover, and Baron Howard, of Charlton, county Wilts. He is succeeded by his son, Charles John, Viscount Andover, now Earl of Suffolk, born 1804, and married, 1829, Isabella, daughter of Lord Henry Howard. SEVERE WEATHER IN THE NORTH.--The Tees was last week frozen over, and so remained for many days. Our Barnardcastle correspondent, writing on Wednesday, says,—" For ten days the river has been frozen. On Snnday last, hundreds of persons were enjoying the healthful recreation of skating." The Sabbath Obser vance Society will not regret to hear that " sundry little mishaps occurred—and not a few of the skaters got a ducking."— Gateshead Observer. SINGULAR CASE OF SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr. William Aizlevood, of Rotherham, ironfounder, attended before Dr. Robinson, of that town, for examination preparatory to insuring his life in the Standard Life Office, and on Saturday week he appeared before Dr. Shearman, (the medical referee of the office,) for inspection. The doctor had examined him, and when he was in the act of placing on his heckkerchief, he was seized with apoplexy, and died in the course of an hour or two. _ _ RIOT AT GRANTHAM.—FOr several days vast a large number of navvies employed under a contractor on the Great Northern Railway at this town have been on strike for an advance of 3d. a day on their present wages, 2s. 3d. On Wednesday they became so outrageous that a message was despatched to Nottingham for a detachment of mili tary. Two troops, under the command of Major Jones, arrived and succeeded in dispersing the men, about 600 in number, without having recourse to arms. THE CASE OF Ma. SALOMONS.—Monday was the day appointed by the Court of Exchequer for hearing the pro ceedings in the prosecution of Mr. Alderman Salomons, for taking his seat and voting in the House of Commons without first taking the oaths in the usual form. The case, however, was not gone into, counsel having agreed to a special verdict admitting the facts, and reserved the points of law for future discussion. The argument, it was intimated, would be taken on the first sitting day after term. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOTERY. — We are informed that, while preparing a vault in the south aisle of the cathedral the other day, the workmen, though fortunate enough to come just between two others, yet made a remarkable discovery. At one end, without any vestige of a coffin, laid an almost perfect human skeleton, which, when ex posed to the atmosphere, immediately crumbled to dust; while at the other end an entire coffin of the roof shape, made of deal, was found to contain nothing but wood shavings.— Carlisle Patriot. HEAVY GALE IN ScomAND.—On Sunday evening and yesterday morning, this city was visited by a furious gale of wind, which was attended by the loss of one life, seve ral casualties, and considerable damage to property. A. man named John Harper, while working in Plainstone dose, Glassmarket. was struck on the bead by a stone dislodged from a house-top by the wind, and was killed on the spot.—Edinburgh Courant of Tuesday.—[ln Glasgow, and all along the west coast of Scotland, the gale seems to have raged with frightful violence.] TEE CONVICT SMITH.—The life of this wretched man, who was convicted at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court, of the murder of the infant child of a woman with whom he cohabited, and who was sentenced to be hanged, will, it appears, be saved. At a late hour on Tuesday evening, a communication was received at Newgate from Sir George Grey, announcing the fact that, after a full consideration of all the circumstances laid before him by the sheriffs, he had felt it to be his duty to recommend to Her Majesty that the life of the convict should be spared, and that his sentence should be com muted to transportation for life. A NOBLEMAN IN DIFFICULTY.—At the Hull County Court Lord J. H.Taylour, holding an ensien's commission in the 85th Light Infantry, quartered at Hull, appeared to show cause why he should not bo committed under a judgment obtained against him by a tailor, residing in Preston, for a debt of upwards of £4O. His lordship stated that his allowance from his father (the Marquis of Headford) was £2OO per annum, and that his registered pay amounted to £7 10s. per month. The judge made an order for his lordship's committal for forty days, but al lowed an interval of ten days to elapse to enable him to effect an arrangement with the creditor. COLLISION ON THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.—On Friday morning the pas senger train which leaves Hull at 6 a.m. for Manchester, when approaching Barnethy Junction, 13 miles from Hull, overtook and ran into a moving coal train with consider able violence. Happily no lives were lost, and no one was much injured. It was, otherwise, however, with the car riages and waggons. Several of the trucks in the rear of the coal train were smashed, and their contents scattered on the line. The engine of the passenger train was very extensively injured by the force of the concussion, and a few of the first carriages were thrown off the line. The rails also were damaged. CUSTOMS' REFORM.—A very large and influential de putation, headed by three commercial members for Lon don, waited upon Lord John Russell on Tuesday morn ing, to present the resolutions agreed to at the meeting on Wednesday week, regarding custom-house reform. His lordship, it is understood, expressed his desire that the question should be considered, with a view to any improvement that might be consistent with the safety of the revenue. Two members of the deputation took the opportunity to point out the injustice inflicted upon the dock companies, expressing also their opinion of the course pursued by the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and these statements having been made, it was finally ex plained that, apart from individual grievances, the reso lutions were to be regarded as a general protest of the merchants of London against the whole of the existing system. _ _ SHOCKING BARBARITY.—One of the most atrocious acts of cruelty by a mother to her child that we ever heard of has within the last few days been perpetrated at Arn cliffe, a small village about 12 miles from Settle, and the same distance from Skipton. A single woman, of the name of Marty Hodgson, supposed to be aged about 30, has been living with an old man named Richard Jaques, a widower, between 70 and 80 years of age, at Arncliffe. She has had an illegitimate child, whether born alive or dead is not known ; but its body she destroyed in the most inhuman way, by burning it in the kitchen fire. Her neighbours noticed the fire as being unusually large, and, coming in, found her and the old man sitting and blowing it with the bellows. A Mr. Robinson, burgeon, went in with the constable (suspicion being excited), and found the infant's charred body among the coals.—Manchester Examiner. ROYAL CHARITY.—Two hundred and fifteen of the passengers in the ship France, of Philadelphia, from Ant. werp for America, have been landed at East Cowes. On the situation of these unfortunates being made known to her Majesty, orders were given that they should be sup pPed with coffee, bread, and soup, from an establishment fitted up for the purpose by her Majesty's orders at Kings ton Farm, on the royal estate at Osborne. The royal children contributed from their gardens turnips, carrots, and other vegetables for the soup, and their little barrows may be seen every morning loaded for the unfortunate foreigners. It is surprising how the ship could sustain the terrible shock that she received from some unknown ves sel on the night of the 24th November; she was cut down nearly to the water's edge, her windlass was broken, and such was the force withwhich she was struck that the planks were driven out on her starboard side; indeed, she is such a wreck that it is thought she is past repairing. Her cargo is being discharged into warehouses.—Morning Post. OFFICIACAPPOINTMENTS.-Mr. Francis Lewis Shaw Mereweather, Immigration Agent and Clerk of the Exe cutive Council of New South Wales, is appointed Post master-General for that colony. Mr. Hutchinson Hotherwell Browne, Water Police Magistrate for New South Wales, is appointed Immigration Agent, in place of Mr. Mereweather, promoted. Mr. John O'Neil Bre nan is to succeed Mr. Browne, as Water Police Magis trate. Mr. Michael Fitzpatrick will succeed Mr. Mere weather as Clerk of the Executive Council. Mr. Woodifield is appointed Inspector-General of Imports and Exports at the Custom-house, in the room of Mr. Irving, who has retired.—Frederick Walford, Esq., is appointed Recorder of Maldon, in the room of his father, J. G. Walford, Esq., deceased.—Mr. Andrew French Lynch is appointed a member of the Council of St. Kitt's. —Major Edward Frome. R.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT UPON A LADY NEAR LONDON. —On Wednesday evening at five o'clock, as Mrs. Hitch cock, a lady of the greatest respectability, residing in Dulwich, was on her return from Norwood, she was stop ped by two ruffians in the High Norwood-road, close by Croxted-lane, and was instantly felled to • the ground by a blow upon the head by some sharp instrument, which penetrated to the skull, and was otherwise most despe rately ill-used. She succeeded, however, in catching a hold of one of her assailants, and was imploring his mercy and protection, when it is supposed that the sounds of an approaching carriage alarmed the villains, who leaped the hedge and made off across the fields. The unfortunate lady's cries at length brought assistance, and she was then conveyed into one of the adjacent houses. Medical aid was as soon as possible procured from Dulwich, when she was found to have been frightfully injured, the whole of the upper part of her person being saturated with blood. She was subsequently taken to her own residence, where she lies in a state of great suffering from the inju ries she has received.—Globe. THE AMAZON WEST INDIA. MAIL STEAM-PACKET.— This fine vessel, of 3000 register tons burden, built by R. and H. Green, and fitted with engines of 800 horse-power, , by Seaward and Capel, went down the river on Wednes day to try her engines and speed. The vessel being the first ready of five of the same class ordered about twelve months ago, to be contracted for by the directors of the West India Mail Steam Packet Company, at half a million sterling, or about £lOO,OOO for each, a number of officers and scientific persons were on board to witness the trial. The Amazon left her moorings at Blackwall shortly after one o'clock, and was started with such ease that her de parture was not perceptible to those between decks at the time, and as she proceeded down the river her powerful engines worked with great perfection, and were the admi ration of ail on board. The diameter of the cylinders is 96 inches each, and the stroke 9 feet, and the engines made 14 revolutions of the large paddle wheels (40 feet 8 inches in diameter) per minute, and a speed by the log of 11 knots per hour. The Amazon draws 19 feet forward and 19 feet 9 aft. The engines are fitted in a framework independent of the vessel, and no perceptible vibration is felt when standing on deck over them. The length of the vessel is 310 feet, with a breadth of beam of 42 feet, and 72 feet over the paddle boxes. The accommodation for passengers is of a superior description, and the vessel is fitted up in an elegant style, and with numerous modern improvements for the comfort of all on board.—Times. REMARKABLE PRESENTIMENT.—One of the most ex traordinary cases of this kind took place at the Bideford Union-house, a short time since. A very aged female, named Thomazin Champion. has for some time past been an inmate of the house ; she has always been considered healthy, and no signs whatever indicated that she would so soon become a prey to the universal destroyer, death. It appears, however, that in the morning she arose, to all appearance, as well as usual, and nothing whatever trans pired to lead any person to conclude that she was so near her end, save the assurance she expressed that she should certainly die that day. She would hear or talk of nothing else. Every attention was paid to her by the governor and his wife, who endeavoured to persuade her that it was only a whim she had taken into her bead. If such was the case, it was a fatal one. Her repeated declara tion that the day of her death was come induced the go vernor to send for the medical man. Upon his arrival he pronounced her as well as he had ever seen her, and thought it was only a notion she had taken into her head. She seemed, however, in full possession of her reasoning faculties, and having in the presence of all thanked her friends, she proceeded to deliver to the governor the cer tificate of her birth and baptism, telling him at the same time to put a breast-pl a t e on her coffin. Having com pleted the last actof her life, namely,theunbosoming of her grateful heart, by blessing the memory of her benefactors, she removed to another part of the room to lay down her head, and upon the medical gentleman going to arouse her, he found her a corpse ! It is certainly one of the most remarkable cases of presentiment of death on record. —Exeter Gazette. TRAFFIC RETURNS.—The traffic returns for the week ending the 7th instant, on the undermentioned English lines of railway, are as follows : London and North Western Midland Lancashire and Yorkshire, London and South Western.

The number of miles open was, in 1851, 4,158, and in 1850, 3,919; showing an increase of 239 miles. Thus, although we have had to record a slight diminution, the Christmas and spring traffic begin to give promise of the resumption of the usual returns. We shall expect to see the traffic very little exceeding the traffic returns of last year, and in the South-Eastern quarter a little checked, owing, of course, to continental disturbances.

CORN MARKETS LIVERPOOL, DEC. I2.—The want of animation in Mark lane on Monday last, which checked the proceedings here on Tuesday, seems to have produced, thus far during the week, a similar effect upon the Wheat trade in most of the leading pro vincial markets of this country: a pause in the advance, pre viously indicated, is reported in many cases to have prevailed in consequence, and prices in several instances slightly de pressed ; the fluctuations in other grain, within the same pe riod, being unimportant. Under these circumstances the trade here, intermediately from Tuesday to this date, has been generally passive, without any essential variation in the cur rency of our last circular. Beyond a moderate quantity of Barley coastwise and of Oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals of any kind of produce into this port from either of these direc tions since Monday last are trivial : from the American States, however, the imports consist of 5331 qrs. of Wheat, 7987 brls. of Flour, and 1444 qrs. of Indian Corn, with 700 qrs. of the lat ter from Constantinople : those from France embracing 2500 qrs. of Wheat, 665 qrs. of Barley, and 2310 sacks of Flour ex clusive of which we have no fresh supplies to note from abroad, whilst of Flour the exports are liberal, and of Indian Corn mo derate. Upon a very slender attendance of buyers at our mar ket to-day, and little spirit in any department of the trade. we experienced a very . slow limited sale for all descriptions of both English and Foreign Wheat, and a partial decline of ld. per 701bs. from Tuesday's rates, holders seeing no inducement to force business at a greater abatement.—States and Canadian Flour continued to meet some inquiry for investment, but few operations for that purpose haying taken place this morning, . . and the demand for consumption being lesi active, a reduction of 3d. per barrel was conceded ; and French as well as Irish Flour was rather lower in value. Malting Barley and Malt were in moderate request at late prices, but grinding Barley, moving sparingly, was the turn cheaper.—Beans and Pease, upon occasional sales, maintained previous quotations. Oats and Oatmeal, attracting but a limited share of attention, hardly sustained their former value. Indian Corn on the spot has been taken by needy buyers during the week, on the im proved terms noted in our last; but the stocks in the granaries of Ireland being considerable, the leading merchants there ap pear unwilling to pay the present advance, and floating cargoes are consequently unsaleable here at the extreme rates required.

At Liverpool and Wakefield, yesterday, the turn of price, as regards every article. was in favour of the buyer, without, however, any disposition to press sale by submitting to more than a trifling reduction upon the extreme rates lately paid. The same description applies to our market to-day: the transactions in each article are merely in retail quantities. PRESTON, DEC. 13.—The corn trade continues in the same depressed state as we have had occasion to notice the last four weeks, and in the absence of an active demand, prices have had a tendency downwards. The arrivals during the week are to a fair amount. The supply of English Wheat at our market this morning was by no means so large as on last Saturday, and it was readily cleared, at a slight improvement upon last week's prices. Flour steady. Irish Oats still enquired for. Farmer's Oatmeal 6d. to Is. per load lower, and a limited inquiry for Irish, at prices rather in favour of the buyer. A short supply of English Beans, and an advance of 6d. per windle was esta blished. WAKEFIELD, DEC. 12.—The change of wind has brought the expected fleet of vessels to hand, and 120 sail have arrived at Goole during the past eight days. Our arrivals of Grain this week are large, and millers are enabled to make their pur chases of Wheat on easy terms, and new is generally ls. per qr. lower than the extreme rates of last week. Old maintains its previous value, and on the whole there is no desire to urge sales, but buyers ere very cautious. Fine Barley is fully as dear; the second sorts sell very slowly. Oats and Shelling have advanced. Beans are more plentiful, and prices are Is. per qr. lower. No alteration in other articles. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Dm 13.—The quantity of Wheat to this day's market from the growers was a good deal short of last week ; and, owing to the mild state of the wea ther, the condition was only indifferent; still the demand proved good, and the whole was cleared off early, at the extreme rates of last Saturday. Having at last a favourable change of wind, the long-detained supplies from the South have arrived; but a great proportion having gone direct to the millers, there was much less offering for sale than might other wise have been expected : and as about the whole is now sup. posed to be in, holders were firm in their demands, and a good business resulted, at the full currency of this day se'nnight— Norfolk and Suffolk Red realising 405.: Lincolnshire, 385., 395., and 40s. per qr., weighed up to 03Ibs. per bushel. For Old Foreign Wheat there is still only a limited sale, but holders show no anxiety to realise, prices are therefore nominally as last quoted. Owing to the heavy supply of Malting Barley, buyers were enabled to purchase at a r e d uc ti on o f Is. per qr. Oats being in small supply, both from the country and Coast wise, and having none from abroad, holders demanded lid. to Is. per qr. advance, which however was only complied with by needy buyers. Pease and Beans fully maintained their value The arrivals of Flour being unus ua lly l arge , sa l es to any extent' could only be effected by submitting to a de c li ne of any per sack ; but, as there are no stocks in granary, the decline, it is expected, will soon be recovered, when the market is relieved of the extra quantity on sale. WISBECH, DEC. 13.—We have a good quantity of Wheat offering here to-day, and most of it only in moderate condi tion; prices generally Is. per qr. lower, and a fair business done. Damp samples very bad to sell. Spring corn is rather easy to buy. DUBLIN, DEC. 12.—Our market was firm to-day for all de scriptions of Grain, at fully the currency of Tuesday last, and an advance of 3d. was realised on Oats, and of Is. to Is. W. on Indian Corn.

LIVERPOOL COT FON MARKET. DEC. 12 The depression noticed last week continued, and was even increased on Friday and Saturday last, when the current quali ties of American were again sold on rather lower terms; and although there has been some revival of confidence within the past two or three days, (owing to better accounts from Paris,) still prices must again be quoted nearly id. per lb. in the buyers' favour, the market, fiowever, closing more steadily; Brazil has been in fair request, at somewhat easier prier's the lower qualities of Egyptian are also cheaper.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DFc. 12 We can note no improvement in the demand for Beef ; the dealers buy sparingly, and the stock reduces very slowly. There has again been an export inquiry for Pork, resulting in the sale of about 300 barrels, which leaves the market very bare of American. Some new French has been taken by the trade, at a full price. The Bacon per " Baltic" has been sold, the qua lity wa, fair. In Hams and Shoulders there is very l►ttle doing. After the date of our last, Lard went down to 415., at which figure 120 tons changed hands, subsequently prices ral lied to 435., with moderate sales, and holders are now firm Cheese has been less inquired for this week, and sales of mid dling qualities have been made at a decline of Is. to 2s. per cwt. Butter, owing to the mild weather, is a shade easier to buy.

I. d STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—The success which has so far attended the usurpation of Lords Napoleon—allaying as it does, the appre hension of civil war in France, and of revolutionary movements in other parts of Europe—leas tended to restore, in some degree, the tone of our market ; and, on the whole, we have to report a slight increase of business as comnared with what we had last week after the receipt of the startling intelligence re ferred to. The letters received from Germany show, in like manner, that, as the flagitious and perilous seiiure of despotic power has been made, its consolidation is regarded as a secu rity against wide-spread and destructive convulsion. But the of the continent, are felt to be so greit as to render the exer cise of extreme caution absolutely necessary to safety. The German and Italian houses are consequently acting wi , h the utmost wariness in the execution of small orders, and such only as are required in the way of assortment. Of course all other buyers are pursuing, more or less, the same policy. The yarn' market is, therefore, exceedingly inanimate, and the amount of operations altogether inconsiderable. The engage ments previously entered into would, indeed, of themselves, preclude any extensive transactions at present ; but the intlu ence of the political cause in question presses upon every department °four trade ; and, as the lapse of a few days brings many producers sensibly nearer the termination of their con tracts, the bias of prices is slightly more unfavourably at the close of the week than at its commencement. The cause referred to has, in all probability, not only given to prices an adverse bent, but prevented their taking a somewhat upward turn. We now quote yarns about id. per lb., on the average. below the rates of a fortnight back. Some spinning of 20's and 30's water twist in the bundle, which are under contract, can not indeed he had, even for future delivery, at any reduction (a qualification we should have made in our last report) ; but these classes of yarns, with such exceptions, have yielded id. to id. per lb. in the time named. Mule yarns have lost fully as much, in general, as water; the finer counts, suitable for Brad ford, however, being still firm. The remand for goods conti nues to be unfavourably affected ; yet it is but partially that any decline in value is sustained, and that only in the lighter or interior descriptions. Good domestics and T's, and the better qualities of the different widths of printing cloths, are steady at the quotations of last week but one. ROCHDALE. — We have had an extremely dull market in flan nels this week, and a very limited amount of goods hare been sold at prices much the same as those of the preceding week. Wool maintains its fo-mer price, and the manufacturers buy very sparingly. BRADFORD. — The wool, yarn, and piece markets this week have been very quiet, and prices are without alteration. Until quietness kas been restored in France, we fear we shall have no increase of demand for goods for the continent. LEEDS.—We have had very quiet markets this week, when stock-sorting is much practised. But about an average amount of business has been done, notwithstanding that the strange events in France have tended to check all kinds of commercial dealings. NOTTINGHAM.—Lace : The general state of this trade con tinues very flat. Although some houses have considerable orders on hand, yet ethers have scarcely anything to dn. Plain goods, and fancy nets adapted for window blinds, are in the best demand ; fancy laces, edgings, and, indeed, nearly all goods of these descriptions, with the above exception, are in very small request. Doublers of lace thread are making great complaints of the want of profit on their yarns.—Hosiery : Our business is a little more improved, with fair prospects of a continuance, as orders •for goods for the home spring trade must shortly be received. More yarn has latterly been given out to the hands to be worked, and some impetus may possibly be given to the trade, in consequence of an anticipated advance upon this material ; indeed, prices already have an improved tendency. _ _ GLAstiow.—Spinners continue to be well supplied with orders, and the current prices •f the month are steadily main tained in nearly all numbers. There has been a little more business doing in our cloth market. at a shade better rates than could have been realised last month. The excitement caused by the state of affairs in France has begun to die away, and a confident expectation is held of a good spring trade. For the last few days there have been various rumours of the stoppage of houses concerned in the late failure of Cabbel and Co. We believe, however, though in one or two instances there are par ties heavily involved, they will be able to make such arrange ments as will preclude them coming to a suspension of payments. &hipping in:tlitgentr.

The Smithfield Club Cattle Show was opened on Mon- •e' at this cribed by day, and was again remarkable for the improvement ma nifested in the breeding and symmetry of the animals ra ther than extraordinary obesity. There is a slight falling off in numbers, but in other respects the show is supe rior to former years. The Herefords have carried off the chief prizes ; the short horns not being equal to those o f last Christmas. In sheep South Downs are rising, whilst Leicesters are generally retrograding. The pigs " are splendid." In the class of Scotch, - Welsh, or Irish cat tle, the prize has been won by Mr. Kinderlev's Welsh ox —the first victory of the Welsh over the Scotch breed.
