IMPUDENT HOAX A few months ago a letter was received by the Inspector of Police at Woolwich, bearing the date of Edinburgh, and signed William Brandon. The writer stated that. three foreigners had been lodging in his Louse at Edinburgh for some time, and had busied themselves in making combustible projectiles, which they had taken with them, packed up in strong boxes, to London, whither they had gone in one of the Leith steamers. The object of these foreigners, the writer feared, was to set fire to some of the public buildings in the metropolis. The letter contained a minute description of the persons of the foreigners, and stated that the writer had discovered their employment, first by observing grains of powder. &c., on the carpet, andafterwards by observing their motions through the keyhole. The Inspector of Police at Woolwich transmitted this letter to Mr. List, of the county police here, with a request that he would communicate with the writer, and obtain 'ltalie: information. Inquiries were accordingly set on foot, but no William Brandon could be discovered in Edinburgh or the neighbourhood, nor was any clue obtained to trace the writer. The matter was almost forgoten when the public were suddenly startled with news of the conflagration of the Tower. A few days afterwards a second letter from the same individual, and containing the same information, was received by Major Elrington, Governor at the Tower, with the additional information that, when in Edinburgh, the strangers were in the habit of frequenting all public places, and suggesting that the writer and his son should receive money to come to London, and by attending the theatres, &c., be able to identify the suspicious foreigners, who, the writer had no doubt, had set fire to the Tower. The matter now began to wear a serious aspect; the burning of the Tower, coupled with the warning given by this writer be forehand, and the circumstantiality of his information—all induced the authorities to suspect that there might be some thing in it. The second letter was transmitted to Mr. List, who inserted an advertisement in the papers, offering to meet with the individual and arrange the means of conveying him to London. This advertisement appears to have met the eye of the individual, for he immediately wrote another letter to Sir Jas. Graham, at the Home Office, demanding that an advertisement should be inserted in ,certain papers, which he named, and in terms which he dictated. This request of course was not complied with ; but the third letter was also transmitted to Edinburgh, and another advertisement was afterwards inserted, which was equally unsuccessful with the others in inducing the writer to come forward. Here the matter rested for some time, and all hope of detecting the writer appeared to be at an end, till the other day, when Mr. List received a packet from an influential gentleman in the county, enclosing a begging letter from a James 111`Lure, representing himself to be in great distress, and soliciting aid. The gentleman requested Mr. List to inquire into the circumstances of the writer, and transmit a report of them. On reading over M‘Lure's letter, Mr. List was struck with the similarity which the handwriting of this begging letter bore to those announcing the new Gunpowder Plot; and on submitting these to competent persons, there could be nu doubt that M`Lure was the writer of all the letters. Instead of keeping respectable lodgings, M`Lure was found inhabit ing a wretched hovel in one of the closes in the Crosscause way, without furniture of any kind. We may add that he is the same person who, some years ago, succeeded in obtaining subscriptions from various parties througbogt the town, on pretence of being employed by the Regatta Club ; for which he was sentenced to four montheimprisonment. We regret that the law will not reach the present impudent attempt to impose upon the authorities. The result of this case shows the advantage of country gentlemen transmitting the begging letters they may receive to the police authorities for ex amination, previous to acting upon them. ANTI-CORN• LAW CONFERENCE IN EDINBURG II (From the Edinburgh Standard.) The voluntary schismatics of this city, we learn from various sources, are proceeding with all due order and so lemnity in the work of getting up a small imitation of the Manchester Anti-Corn Law " Conference," as it was styled —locus a non lucendo—from the parties not conferring at all. Condemning, as we do, the selfish and unprincipled con duct of these voluntary ministers, we are yet tree to acknow ledge that, in so far as the corn-laws are concerned, we by no means regret the course they have adopted. In England, no event of the last twelve months—not even the general election—demonstrated more clearly the state of public opi nion on this question than the late Manchester Anti-Corn Law Conference. It is not to be denied that the opponents of the agricultural interest are almost exclusively to be found in the ranks of dissent. Accordingly, when the anti-'orn league selected that field whereon to fight their battle and show their strength, we should have expected that their efforts would have proved irresistible. But what was the result—what did this " demonstration" prove ? Simply, that the great majority of the dissenting leaders themselves, including all who are entitled to rank. es " respectable," were averse to the scheme of making the core-laws a religi ous question, and therefore took no part in the conference. A statement and analysis of the names and numbers of the persons who attended the Manchester confabulation appeared some months since in Fraser's Magazine, to which we must refer the curious and the sceptical (if there be any such) on this point. We have little difficulty in anticipating the like disastrous, or rather salutary, effect from the proposed " conference" in Edinburgh. The facts which have been elicited at the pre liminary meetings of the prime movers must lead only to this conclusion. In the first place, the "conference" is to con sist exclusively of dissenters or voluntaries. The clergy of the Established Church have not been summoned, for a very substantial reason—they won't have anything to do with such humbug. It appears, however, that circulars to the number of 976 have been issued to persons supposed or known to be favourable to an abolition of the corn-laws. And how many of this number have acknowledged or accepted the invitation ? Why, not more than s . 69—little beyond one half !! ! This is the state of matters amongst dissenters themselves ! If the opinion of the " religious" public —we must apolo gise for the phrase—were to determine this question, what would be the result? It is admitted by the parties to this movement, that the established clergy, with four exceptions, are opposed to the " conference," and, of course, favourable to the existing law. The figures, which we draw from the voluntary statistics, will then stand in the following propor tions : ESTABLISHED CHURCH. In favour of the corn laws Against the corn laws DISSENTERS In favour of the corn laws Against the corn laws.... 407 569 673 1603 Majority in favour of the corn laws 930 !! ! There is a story told of two persons of distinction, the one lived at Mad r id , the other at Rome, who played a game of chess at that distance. They were young when they began, and though they both lived to a very old age, yet the game was not finished. One of them dying, appointed his executor to go on with the game. GREAT BRITAIN AND AMERICA.—WE have reason to believe that a very serious misunderstanding now exists be tween the British government and the United States, arising, on the one hand, from the unwillingness of the American president to apologise for the detention of a British subject (Vl`Leod), on an unfounded charge, and, on the other, from the alleged fact that vessels engaged in the slave trade are notoriously fitted out in American ports. Lord Aberdeen, as we learn, has written repeated and decided notes on both these subjects, without as yet receiving satisfactory answers; and, considering the fresh obligations imposed on this coun try by the new anti-slave treaty, it is much to be feared that something unpleasant may occur between both governments. —Morning Herald of Saturdag. THE BRITISH QUEEN AND THE PRESIDENT.—Pursuant to advertisement, a meeting, consisting of eight or ten local shareholders of the British and American Steam Packet . Company, took place 'at the Commercial Buildings, this day, the mayor in the chair, for the purpose of investigating the accounts of the concern, deemed to have been rendered neces sary at the previous meeting, the proceedings of which ap peared in the Reporter. During the progress of the meeting to-day general dissatisfaction was expressed at the vague and imperfect nature of the accounts, and all presort appeared to regret their connexion as shareholders with the company. There was also a general repugnance to meeting a demand of 10 per cent. additional to the paid-up portion of the shares, and the list of defaulters, amounting to over £6,000, was about being read, when Messrs. Maguire and Fitzgibbon in terposed, to prevent the exposure of individual names. The meeting separated without having arrived at any decision whatever.—Cork Southern Reporter. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SERVANT.—On Wed nesday week, Mr. Samuel Heywood was brought up at the Salford Police-court, before E. Armitage, Esq., charged with having embezzled about £l,OOO, the property of the Manchester and Bolton Canal and Railway Company. It appeared that the prisoner held a confidential situation in the service of the company for five or six years. On Satur day night, the 4th instant, having paid the men their wages, he brought Mr. Hawkshaw, the principal manager, a balance of £BO, and then requested permission to go to Northwich, to transact some private business, stating that he would be back on the Monday following. As he had not returned on the Wednesday after, Mr. Hawkshaw became apprehensive lest some accident might have befallen him; and, without suspecting that anything was wrong with his accounts, ap plied to Mr. Diggles. the deputy-constable of Salford, to send a police-officer along with one of the company's ser vants to Northwich, to make some inquiries after him. This was done, but no intelligence whatever was obtained respect ing him. Mr. Hawkshaw then began to suspect that Hey wood had absconded with money belonging to the company ; and, having opened his drawer in the counting-house, found a letter addressed to himself, and another to Mrs. Heywood. In the letter to Mr. Hawkshaw, the prisoner stated that he was induced to abscond in consequence of a deficiency in his accounts, which he was unable to make good. Mr. Hawk shaw immediately communicated with Mr. Diggles, and the latter forthwith sent a police-officer to Liverpool, to make inquiries respecting the fugitive. The policeman ascertained, on inquiry at one of the packet-offices, that a young man, answering the description given of Heywood, had taken his passage for Philadelphia on the 6th instant ; but, on account of contrary winds, no vessel had sailed since that period. Having learned the name of the vessel, and the day on which she was to sail, the police-officer returned to Salford, and was sent down to Liverpool, on the 14th instant, with direc tions from Mr. Diggles, to pursue her, when she had got out of the river, and then go on board, and secure the object of his search. The officer, in compliance with these instruc tions, procured a boat, arid followed in the wake of the ves sel, until she was about five miles outside of the river ; and then boarded her, and took Heywood into custody. £35 were found upon him ; and, on being informed of the charge against him, he admitted that he had defrauded the company to some extent. The prisoner was remanded till the 18th instant, when he was again brought before E. Armitage, Esq. ; and, the books having been produced, the accounts showed the prisoner to have been about £l,OOO deficient ; with the whole of which he had debited himself. He was committed for trial at the assizes.-. Manchester Guardian. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.—A special meet ing of the proprietors of the Manchester and Leeds Railway was held on Thursday, the 2ad instant, when it was resolved that the line should be extended from the present terminus, Lees-street, to Hunt's Bank, Manchester, and the directors be empowered to proceed forthwith. It was also further re solved that the directors be empowered to join any other railway companies in taking a lease of the proposed new line from Darlington to join the Dnrhain ; and that they be also authorized to take such measures as they may deem fit for the establishment and completion of the said proposed new line, on the terms and principles that were then submitted to the meeting. At the close of the business, W. Entwistle, Esq., read a statement showing that the net revenue of the company, from the Ist of July to the end of the present year, would amount to £116,000. The expenses of six months, including the half-year's salaries, would be £40,000 ; the interest to loan-holders, minus the interest on the banking account, would be 431,000; malting a total of £71,000 of out-goings, and leaving a balance of £45,000 net propeeds. Dividends of three per cent. on the old and the half shares, and of ten per cent. for three months on the quarter shares, would require £40,000 ; leaving a surplus of £5OOO out of the half-year's proceeds, as a depreciation fund, without touching any of the previous earnings. MUTINY ON BOARD A SLAVIiIt.--MURDEIL SW TDB OWNER.—Captain J. R. Crosbie, of the brig Elizabeth Wood, from Nassau, N.P., sailed on the 21st Nov.,reports that the brig Creole, from Richmond, Virginia. ound to New Orleans, arrived at Nassau on the 9th of November, with about 150 negro slaves on board, in a mutinous state ; they had taken possession of the vessel, and demanded that they should be landed at a British colony. Having wounded and disabled the captain (Orkin), and chief mate of the Creole, with several of the crew, they murdered a Mr. Hew ett, part owner of the slaver, who was passenger on board, by severing his bead from his body, and afterwards throwing his remains overboard; they compelled another ship captain, who was on board as passenger, to steer the brig to Nassau, where he made the above report on his arrival. Several of the ringleaders were placed in prison, and the rest of the slaves suffered to go at liberty. It was reported that the American Consul protested agaipst thpir being allowed to land, but without effect; OCEAN CURRENTS.—The following has been received at Lloyd's :—" On the 23d November, 1841, a sealed bottle was picked up on the western coast of the Commune d'ars 110 de Re, in which was found a letter in English, of which the following is a copy :—` On board the Lydie of Liverpool, Captain Petree, bound to Bahia, 7th October, 1841.—We have had, during the last few days, in the Bay of Biscay, strong winds from and heavy seas. We appre hended that our voyage might be protracted on approaching the southern coasts of this bay, in which there is reason to fear meeting with strong currents ; flow desirable it would be under such circumstances to have a knowledge of the true set of the currents in order to know how long one might follow them in standing to the southward with the helm a starboard. We are at this present time in lat. 36 57 N., and lon. 7, by chronometer, meridian of Greenwich, having struggled against currents which indicate either the approxi mation of the coast or the junction of two currents. Who ever shall find this bottle, is requested to make known to the. public the:place where, and the time when, it may be picked up, so that it may come to the knowledge of the scientific society in England, and that it may be known we were in these latitudes.' " WEST INDIAN ROYAL MAIL. STEAM-PACKETS.—The fol lowing account of the trial of those vessels that have left Southampton will no doubt be read with interest, as it will show that the speed of these vessels is greater than that of any vessel of the same class. The distance was rather more than 15 two-thirds statute miles, and was performed as un der ;—The Clyde, in 1 hour 11 minutes, being at the rate of 13 miles hour; the Tweed, 1 hour 13 minutes, being at the rate of 12 1-35th miles per hour ; the Solway, 1 hour 17 minutes, being at the rate of 12 miles per hour; the Tay, 1 hour 9 minutes, being at the rate of 13,1 miles per hour. These trials may be considered interesting to the nautical world, as three of these ships have precisely the same rate of engines, viz., the Tay, the Tweed, and the Clyde, and the difference is to be attributed to the forms of the ships them selves. The chief peculiarity of the Tay is in consequence of the waive principle of the bow. The difference of these chips in coming round from the north to Southampton, loaded, is equally interesting. The same distance of 15 2-3 d miles was performed as follows .—The Clyde, with 425 tons of coal, in 1 hour 17 mingles, or 12 miles per hour; the Tweed, 265 tons, in 1 hour 16 minutes, or 12 1-sth miles ; the Solway, 250 tons, in 1 hour 24 minutes, or 11 1-6th miles. The Clyde, from the river Clyde, completed her passage to the Needles in 65 hours, the Tweed in 56, and the Solway in 73, being a distance of 650 miles, and that iiipoisterous wea ther. Tile GREATEST OF MONSTERS.—Some people have a horror of house-breakers. A strong fellow, in a fustian jacket, with a piece of crape over his face, and a pistol in his hand, is certainly a disagreeable visitor to a quiet country gentleman in the middle of a dark night in December; the hoarse whisper, conveying a delicate allusion to your money bags or your life, is far from a pleasing method of carrying on a conversation ; arid therefore, without descending to any more minute particulars, or pluming myself upon my perso nal immunity from such visitations on the score of having no house, I agree at once that a house-breaker is a detestable character, and worthy of all condemnation. A murderer, also, I am not prepared to vindicate. A knife forced into the stomach of an elderly gentleman in a half-sleepy state after a bottle of old port—a razor drawn across a beautiful bar-maid's throat—or a bullet scientifically inserted through the ear-hole of a deaf old lady engaged in secreting her half year's dividend in a black trunk in the garret—are disagree able objects of contemplation to the philanthrophic mind ; and I therefore at once coincide in the fervent execration in which a murderer is held by every person I have ever con versed with on the subject, except some students of anatomy, and two or three popular authors of the convulsive school. But there is another miscreant for whom I have no commis seration—a wretch, compared with whose atrocities house breaking becomes meritorious, and murder innocent; before whose negro-like blackness—to borrow the language of Charles Phillips—the darkness of annihilation becomes white as snow ; whose benediction is a curse, whose breath is a pestilence, whose name is a bell ; over whose sunless memory shall settle the conflagration of a fury, and whose soul shall shudder beneath the appalling convulsions of a fathomless doom for ever ! After this description need I say that I mean a scoundrel who neglects to prepay the post? A fellow who, to make the paltry saving of a penny, forces his correspon dent to an outlay of twopence ; and you will almost uniformly find that the unpaid letter is of a most disagreeable nature in other respects.—Blackwood's Mayazmefor December. SAVING OF LIFE AND PROPERTY BY MEANS OF DEN wErr's ROCKETS.—AhOI4 nine o'clock on the night of the 10th instant, during a violent gale from the N.W., the " Liddell," a large brig of 328 tons, belonging to South Shields, G. Watson, master, was driven on shore about two miles to the northward of Hasbro' Lights, on the coast of Norfolk. Lieut. James, chief officer of the coast guard at Hasbro', and his men, with the most praiseworthy alacrity, repaired to her assistance . with Dennett's rockets and apparatus, and at the first fire sent th e roc k e t b e t ween the masts, laying the line directly amidships in the most beautiful style, although the vessel was upwards of 300 yards distant from the beach. Some delay occurred, either from the extreme darkness of the night preventing the possibility of seeing the line, or the people not understanding how to avail themselves of its assistance; and . we rezret to learn that ignorance to a great extent prevails in the merchant service, as to the proper methods of taking advantage of the assistance of the various apparatus which is thus provided for their rescue on our coasts. Another rocket having car ried them a second line, an eight•inch hawser was bent to it and hauled on shore by the coast-guards, a n d b y h eav i ng upon the hawser, the vessel was assisted over the sand-bank, on which the surf was breaking with great violence, an d the brig straining very much, the water in the hold being at the time up to the beams. Had not this excellent rocket apparatus been fortunately at hand, the vessel would have soon gone to pieces, and all hands on board, thirteen i n num ber, must, in all probability, have immed iately perished. SPIRITED ENCOUNTER WITH A FOX.—Last week a small terrier of the true Dinmont breed unkennelled a large dog fox from some whins on the farm of Treaton, and, to the astonishment of the bystanders, kept him at bay in the open field. After a glorious skirmish, during which the terrier effected repeated diversions by annoying the heels of the enemy, he was at last well entered with the vermin, and suc ceeded in the capture, leaving ample proofs that unless he had been of the right sort he would not have continued in such unequal conflict. On examination, the cause which retarded reynard in view of such a diminuitive pack, and which ended fatally for him, was an injury which he had received in •ne of his fore feet from a rabbit trap.—Fffeshire Journal. HIGHWAY ROBBERY OF A BRITISH M. P. IN SPAIN. —We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter from Mr. Hindley, M.P., giving an account of an attack made by a band of robbers upon the Malle Poste, when within about 20 miles of Madrid. Mr. Hindley, who was accompanied by his lady, two children, and two servants, was robbed of what money and valuables he had with him ; and a govern ment courier was also rifled. The robbers returned Mrs. Hindley's watch, but kept that of the courier. The posti lions, conductor, and the male passengers, with the exception of Mr. Hindley, were obliged to lie down with their faces to the ground, while the diligence was rifled. Although vio lently threatened, however, none of the passengers sustained any personal injury.—Morning Chronicle. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday week, as a fine young woman, eighteen years of age, employed as a weaver in Mr. J. Wood's mill at Glossop, was combing her hair in the loom room, previous to going to dinner, a shaft above her head caught the ends of the hair as she threw it upwards, and immediately began to draw her up. On finding her hair fast, the young woman put up her hands to release it; but her finger became entangled in the hair. In consequence of this, not only was the hair completely pulled off from the scalp, but both arms were fractured, three fingers of the right hand, and the thumb of the left were also wrenched off. Mr. Rushy, surgeon, was immediately sent for'; but the young woman was finally removed to the Manchester Infirmary. Amputation of one of the arms was there found necessary ; but on Thursday, whilst the operation was going on, death put an end to the poor girl's sufferings. POPE CLEMENT XlX.—The late Duke of Glocester, who died in 1805, spent many years at Rome for the benefit of his health. His Royal Highness, while in that capital, re ceived many marks of respect from Pope Clement XIX. and his successor. It was an invariable custom, from time im memorial, for all carriages, on meeting that of the Sovereign Pontiff, to deviate on one side, or, if the place was very nar row, to back out, and so make a clear passage. It happened once that the Pope and the Duke entered a very narrow street, in opposite directions, at the same time, and came in contact where the path was too narrow to admit of either turning. His Holiness immediately gave orders that his own carriage should recede, to let the English Prince advance, which was done, much to the astonishment of the Roman people. Other acts of civility, still more distinguished, were shown, both to the Duke of Glocester and his brother, for which his Majesty wrote a letter of thanks to Pius VI. with his own.hand.—Memoirs of George IV. MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY.—At Samarang, the second town of the island of Java, there exists a species of matri monial lottery, which gives rise to many singular speculations. Orphan children, rich as well as poor, arc all brought up in a public establishment. The most profound silence as to the fortunes of these children is enjoined to every person em ployed in or about the institution. These fortunes are placed under the management of persons at Batavia, on whom a similar injunction of secrecy is imposed. The female orphans are kept in the establishment until their mar riage. Every man possessing an annual income of 730 florins, or two florins a day, is at liberty to choose a wife from amongst them, but the amount of her fortune is not made known to him till several days after marriage. A ser vant of the military hospital at Samarang lately selected one of these damsels with a fortune of 65,000 florins. Since his good luck, the application for wives from the asylum have become very urgent ; for a report has got abroad, that there is a marriageable girl still left who will bring with her a prize of 200,000 florins. EXTR4ORDINARY DISCOVERY IN A CHURCH.—A few days ago, a dicovery of an extraordinary kind was made in the interior of the parish church of Barking, Essex. The ancient edifice affording scarcely room for the increasing population of that town and its vicinity, the rector, the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Liddel, has recently undertaken, at his own expense, to improve the chancel, so as to afford additional accommodation. To accomplish this, it was found necessary to cut away :a portion of the ponderous pillars by which the galleries are at this end supported, and which were of ten times the strength required. While the workmen were en gaged in removing a thick crust of plaister in which one of the pillars were encased, and which had been put on upwards of seventy years ago to give them the appearance of stone, they discovered a nest of five toads, two of which were of a very good size, and the others smaller. The reptiles on being relieved from their place of lengthened confinement, jumped apout the place, and seemed perfectly healthy, and were picked uq and put in a place of security. In removing some wooden skirting from the wall near the same spot, a live bat was found, which must have been confined quite as long as the toads, and which was also secured by the work men. The extraordinary curiosities attracted much atten tion, and various applicotions have been made to the recto' for one or other of time creatures, but they were unsuccess ful. At the especial request of Mrs. Liddell, who is niece to the Duke of Wellington, they are all to be replaced as near as possible to the spot where they were found. The bat has been already placed behind the new skirting, and the toads will be also deposited in the pillar when the necessary prepa ration is made for them. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Norwich having inti mated to the governor and members of the Board of Guar dians in Norwich, his desire to give to the poor inmates of the workhouse a good dinner of old English fare of roast beef and plum pudding, in celebration of the birth of a prince, the heir apparent to the throne, Tuesday week was the day for carrying his lordship's benevolent intention into effect. There are nearly 400 persons in the house, and for these ample pro vision was furnished ; plum puddings of the best quality were made, and joints of beef of the primest kind were procured. The tables had been arranged three in the centre aisle and one by the side, and it being announced that all was ready, the boys and girls in the establishment first entered and took their places, and were followed by the men and women. Grace was said by the bishop, and Non nobis Domine was sung by the choristers of the Cathedral, who were stationed in the orchestra. Mrs. and Miss Stanley and several other ladies evinced much interest in the personal comfort and en joyment of the guests, particularly of the junior objects of his lordship's bounty. IMPORTANT DECISIONS ON INSURANCE OF LIVES.—In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Thursday, the Northern Reversionary Interest Company of Edinburgh brought an action against the Asylum Insurance Company in London, to recover the sum of £2,000, effected on the life of the Hon. George Henry Talbot, brother to the Earl of Shrewsbury. The defence to the action was, that his death was brought about by excessive drinking, and this having been established to the satisfaction of the court and jury, the latter returned a verdict for th- defendants.—ln the Court of Common Pleas, the same nay, an action was brought by Mrs. Borra daile, widow of the late Rev. W. l3orradaile, vicar of Wands worth, to recover the sum of £l,OOO, effected in the same office, on the life of her husband. The payment was refused on the ground that, the rev. gentleman having committed suicide, the policy was void, there being an express stipula tion to that effect. Evidence showed that the rev, gentleman had thrown himself into the Thames, and the question was whether the act of destruction by an insane person vitiated the contract.—The learned judge, in summing up the case, said that he should leave all the points to the jury; first, whether the fair and reasonable construction of th e con t ract was that the condition in question should not attach, unless the act of self-destruction was the act of a person of sound mind ; secondly, whether the deceased did throw himself from the bridge with intent to destroy his life; and, lastly, whether, at the time of his death, the deceased was of sound mind.—The jury retired shortly after nine o'clock at night, and, after having being absent about an hour and a half, re turned with a verdict, " That Mr. Bo rra d a il e vo l untarily threw himself from the bridge,. with th e i n t en ti on o f destroy ing life ; and that at the time of committing the act, he was not capable of judging between ri g ht an d wrong. " The find ing was, therefore, in favour of the plaintiff. FlRE. — Very early on Monday morning a fire broke out in the residence of Mr. Perring, one of the proprietors of the intelligeacer, in Hanover-square, Leeds. About half-past one o'clock Mrs. Perring, who slept in the front room of the first loor, Mr. Perring being at the time out of town, was awoke by a strong smell of burning timber, and imagining that it was occasioned by some chips which the servants might have put into the oven to dry, she went down to verify her suspicions, but discovered nothin: amiss. On returning, however, the smell had so much increased, and smoke had become so decidedly visible, that she became satisfied there was fire in the house, and after snatching her youngest child from the crib in which it was sleeping by the side of her bed, she went into the rooms above, to call the rest of the family and the servants. By the time that they had all got safely down stairs, it became apparent that the fire was about the nursery, which is to the rear, on the first floor, immediately over the drawing-room, as the smoke was issuing from the wash-hoard near the nursery door': None of the furniture was injured, but the damage is estimated at £soo.—Leeds Intelligencer. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.—We cannot too strongly, nor too often, urge upon the attention of all conservatives the absolute necessity of maintaining their ground. The 3lst of Janusry next is the very last day on which a conveyance of freehold should be executed, to entitle a voter for it to send in his claim to be registered next year. An occupier to the amount of £5O per annum, must have been in the occupation of his qualification on the 31st of July last. Any person, however, who may come into possession of a qualification by descent, succession, marriage, dev!se, or promotion to any benefice in a church, or by promotion to any office, at any time within such respective periods, will be entitled, in re spect thereof, to have his name inserted in the list then next to be made out by the overseers. Besides freeholders and £5O tenants, the following may claim, viz., owners of copy hold property, leasehold for lives, or leasehold for any term originally created for not less than GO years, to the amount of £lO per annum in each case, or leasehold for any term ori ginally created for not less than twenty years, of the annual value of £5O. There are also other ways in which an inte rest, derivable from real property, may confer a vote, as in cases of mortgagees in possession, and annuitants, &c., all of which should receive a searching investigation by conserva tives, in order that their ranks may be numerically strength ened to combat an enemy whose vigilance and perseverance in their generation are exemplary, and whose motto seems to be " nunquam dormio." STEAMING POTATOES.—The secret of " steaming" pota toes is very little understood, and rarely carried into full effect, although it is indispensable to the nutritious develop ment of the vegetable. The whole mystery consists in suffering the steam to escape, and at the same time keeping the potatoes hot, When the cook throws Off the water, under the jurisdiction of the cookery book, what is she to do next ? The steam rushes out, and she places the vessel opposite the fire; but, fearful that the potatoes may cool in the meanwhile, she puts on the cover. Thus she undoes one process by the other, for the steam no sooner escapes from the potatoes than, being confined by the lid, it con denses rapidly, and falls back in water upon the vegetables. And thus, through the ignorance and obstinacy of our cooks, we are perpetually served with what are familiarly called wet potatocs7a sort of vague excuse which helps to throw the fault against the season or the gardener, or anything or any body rather than the real culprit. The Irish peasant woman, wholly ignorant of science, but with instinctive sagacity, gets rid of the difficulty by the simplest process imaginable. Placing the vessel without the cover in a slanting direction opposite the tire, so as to hasten the process of steaming by , she throws a n apkin over the p o t atoes, w and retains so m uc h o f th e s t ea m a s d oes not e tl ff 'he e i c ce t hx ercn i tr t e se ea s iv c i a el i s 7e a , t while it performs the equally essential office of preserving the heat to the vegetable below. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, DEC. 24. Sugar.—As is usual at this season of tke year, the bu iness has been extremely limited, and the sales of B.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, DEC. 24. Great languor has prevailed throughout the week in every article of trade, and the sales of Flour and Oalmeal have been on the most limited scale to consumers, barely supporting the pre vious rates. Owing to Christmas Day our market was held this morning, at which there was a very slender attendance, and, without change in the quotations of this day se'nnight, few trans actions of importance occurred in any article. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 27. There has been very little business transacted in Butter since this day se'nnight ;—we may, however, correctly state that the price of the finer qualities is not lower, Belfast being worth gas to 100 s. The more indifferent sorts may certainly be purchased cheaper ;—but nothing bearing a tolerably respectable brand, can not be had under 88s to 90s. We do not notice any alteration in provisions or Bacon. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, DECEMBE R 27 We have a fair quantity of Potatoes . to hand from the Isle of Man, Scotland and Ireland since the 23rd inst. The country dealers as usual at Christmas, are now buying very sparingly, but the demand for town consumption continues steady at the current prices of Friday last, viz., Manx, Sc otch, and Irish Cups Is Hid to 2s Id; Round and Rough Reds 2s 2d to 2s 4d; Seedlings 2s 3d to 2s 4d. The market for cur local farm produce is pretty well supplied, and sales made as under noted:—Pink Eyed Potatoes 2s 3d to ,s 6d; Cups 2s I d to 2s 4d; Short Tops Is Qd to 2s 3d; Cattle Is 6d to is pd per 90 lbs.

EFFECTS pri , RAILWAYS ON TUIINPIKE Tauwx tolls on the turnpike-road leading from Swindon to Christiim Malford, which, last year let at £1,992, were put up by auction, at Swindon, on Tuesday last, and produced only the sum of £654 ; being a deficiency of £1.338, or more than two-thirds. The opening of the Great Western Railway, which runs nearly parallel with the turnpike-road, is the cause of the diminution.—Devizes Gazette. — The ”avl of t.tti ember of t compl Houie aPe A CIIIIRCH-BUILPING FAMILY.—The foundation of a new church, to be reared in the English style of architec ture, in Hulme, was laid on Thursday wear, The church will be built and endowed solely by a maiden lady, Miss Atherton. of Kersall Cell. Her grandfather, Mr. Edward Byron, built, at his sole expense, St, John's Church, in :Manchester. Her aunt, Mrs. Byron, souse time ago, re paired St. John's Church, at a cost of not less than £l,OOO. • And now," says the Manchester Courier, " God has put it into the heart of another descendant to build and endow this new church, to be called the Holy Trinity, at a charge of £10,000." DREADFUL CASE OF SUFFERING. — Monmouth, happily, seldom affords instances of such extreme wretchedness are to be found In many other parts of the country ; an exception to this fact has occurred, however, in the case of a family named Vaughan, living in Weybridge-alley, in that town. The husband, who is in some way connected with the barges, has for some time been earning about two shillings per week, with which he had to maintain a wife and five children. 'When they were visited, in consequence of a report of their distressed circumstances, the wife was found looking wan and emaciated, and evidently struggling under the inroads of consumption. She had not a single garment to cover her but a loose gown ; on her lap was an infant about two years and a half old, in a dying state, from repeated convulsive attacks; and on the table in the room was another child, which had recently died. The neighbours, who are poor, testified that for some days the children had not received a particle of food but the few scraps they had given from their own necessities ; and it was their conviction that the decea sed child, and its nearly expiring brother, (since, alas ! dead,) had their deaths accelerated by want. It is due to the paro - - chial authorities to state that, from the indiscretion of the man Vaughan, they were precluded affording assistance, as he had evaded an order of removal, and they had received no subsequent application for relief.—Merthyr Guardian. itt eorowi: LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, Dec. 24.

Scarcely any buyers in attendance, and the Beef trade was excessively heavy, at an abatement of ad per alb, and a clearance was not effected. No arrivals from Scotland. There was a fair average number of Sheep on sale, which moved off steadily at Monday's quotations. Calves were in short supply, and fair inquiry at late rates.

Feeling acutely on his re turn that he was a mere wreck, he sent a friend to the lady, informing her of his mutilated condition, and generously offering to release her from her engagement. " Tell him," replied the noble girl, " that I will joyfully marry him, if he only has enough of body left to hold his soul." 'ha corn futellignur. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21.—Wind S.W. fresh.

Prime Beef bid to 7d, middling Sid to 6d. Good Wethers still continue scarce, making from 7d to lid, Ewes, Nil per lb. sinking the offal. Number of Beasts 1,036; sheep 3,130. a g LIVERPOOL CORN EXCII ANGE, DEC. 24. With the exception of foreign Beans, raised to I Is. per qt., the import duties remain precisely the same as last week. The arrivals of Grain and Flour into this port, coastwise and from Ireland, since Tuesday last are trivial ; hut those of Oatmeal, continuing to come forward rather freely, are again liberal, the receipts within the last three days amount ing to 9788 sacks. From the continental ports of Europe, and Canada, the supplies in during that time consist princi pally of a moderate quantity of Wheat, Barley, and Pease, with 7249 barrels of Flour, the latter wholly from Quebec and Montreal. Between Tuesday's market and to-day, occasional, but very limited sales only of free Wheat and Flour have been made to consumers ; the trade regarding all other free arti cles remaining dull at our last quotations. For Wheat under bond and afloat, however, repeated in quiries were made, but without resulting in any transac tions of an important character during that period. Our corn-exchange this morning being nearly deserted by country buyers, and our local millers, as usual, previous to the approaching holidays, being almost wholly on the re serve, the trade relative to all descriptions of Wheat was extremely inanimate, and, although holders continued to require late prices, purchases might have been made in se veral instances on easier terms. Flour, being available for immediate use, good brands of foreign were in moderate request at former rates, but in Eng lish or Irish little or no business was apparent. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease continuing to excite very little attention, were, if anything, the turn cheaper. Oats and Oatmeal, participating in the extreme dulness pervading all other branches of the trade, scarcely sustained our last currency. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 27. The improved tone and feeling noticed in our Circular on Thurs day last, has not only continued, but increased, and on Friday and to-day we have had a numerous attendance of buyers in the market, operating freely, at advanced prices, fully id 14 , lb at these rates. 6000 bales were sold on Friday, and to-day fully 7000 bales, if anything dearer than last week, with a thinly supplied market, ET MARK. REPOT. The trade COTTON this week have purchased —WEEKLY more freely ß than for some time past, and holders having shown less anxiety to make sales, full prices have been obtained for the lower descriptions of Ameri cans, whilst the fair and better kinds are barely supported. The recent import of Surat is generally withheld from the market, and, with a very good demand for consumption, prices of the common to fair qualities have advanced id le• tb. In other descritio there is no material change. 1560 Sea Island and 700 Stainedp were ns offered by auction to-day, nearly the whole of which were forced off at a decline of Id to lid, and in some instances of 2d 11) , lb in the white, and about id to Id in the stained. Speculators have taken 1500 American and 1200 Surat, and exporters 400 American and 100 Surat.
