LITERARY NOTICES. Blackwood's Magazine. February, 18411 This is a Splendid number. The only drawback from its interest is the omission of the exquisite memoirs of Tittlebat Titmouse, the absence of which every one must regret. The first article in the number is an eloquent treatise on, the " Theory of Greek Tragedy," which possesses merit of the highest order. It is evidently from the pen of a first-rate scholar. The " Hymns 'of a Hermit" contain some very pretty poetry.. The review of "Miss Martineau' Deer brook" is a slashing piece of criticiim, The "Letter from Hannibal Smith, Esq.," :has afforded us_ much pleasure. in the perusal. The elaborate critique updn !` •GriMin"sjen7 tonic Grammar" is one of the best articleS in the number. It opens up a comparatively new field of philological inquiry. The " Poetical Translations of Faust" is executed in Chris topher's best style. The remarks on the " Afghanistan Expedition" possess peculiar claims on public attention at the present crisis. " Legendary Lore"—" Casuistry" and " Hints on History" are each excellent in their way. Fraser's Magazine. February, 1840. The opening article in the present number of this excellent magazine is a critique on " Mrs. Hemans and the Pictu resque School of Poetry." The specimens which it contains of this description of poetry are extremely well selected and beautiful. The " Characteristics of the Nineteenth Cen tury" is the title of a serie s of pungent political remarks. We shall transfer several of these slashing articles to our own columns. " The Star of 4he Fountain" is a very inte resting tale. We especially recommend a careful perusal of the article on " Poland, England, and Russia." It is one of the best that we have seen on the subject. There is much originality in the reflections on " The Present State of Lite rary Criticism in England." The conclusion of the satirical tale of " Catherine" is capitally managed. It forms an ex-' cellent companion-piece to " William Ainsworth and Jack Sheppard," in a subsequent page. The paper on " lais" is the production of a true scholar. The " Political Memoranda" are worth their weight in gold, and ought to be read by every Conservative within the four seas. Dublin University Magazine. February, 1840. We are here favoured with a continuation of the excellent article on " Banking and Currency," to which we directed the attention of our readers last month. It is replete with useful information on this important and engrossing subject. and will be found of the highest utility to the mercantile part of the community. The " Gallery of Illustrious Irish men" for this month contains a well written memoir of Dean .Swift. "An AdventUre of Hardress Fitzgerald." possesses an absorbing degree of interest. The conclusion of " Harry Lorrequer's Confessions," we have already noticed. We are glad to fincrthat a second series is to appear under the title of " Lorrequer Married." The " Portrait Gallery" contains a well-executed sketch, accompanied by a Memoir of Robert Walsh, LL.D. The tale of " Agnes," is an affecting narrative. " How long are we to live under a Petticotocracy?" is a capital political article. The " Trial Extraordinary for High Treason and Piracy," is an admirable exposure of an almost unparalleled instance of literary plagiarism. The Asiatic Journal, and Monthly Register for British and Foreign India, China, and Australasia. February, 1840. London : W. H. Allen and Co. In the present critical state of oriental affairs, there are few journals that can be consulted with greater advantage than the one under notice, embracing as it does a complete view of all that• transpires respecting British India and China from month to month. Its " Review of Eastern News," Will be found particularly interesting. It contains a brief summary of the most recer?t intelligence from India. ." The Mission to Bootan " furnishes us with many interest ing particulars respecting 'a country hitherto but imperfectly known. The article on " Hindustani Literature " contains several very important suggestions. We have been highly gratified with the continuation of the descriptive account of the " Manners and Customs of the Japanese." There are many useful practical remarks in the " Journey through France and Egypt to Bombay." The Critical Notices and miscellaneous intelligence in the Asiatic are exceedingly interesting. The Colonial Magazine and Commercial-Maritime Journal. Edited by Robert Montgomery, Esq. No. 2. February, ISIO. London: Fisher,.Son, and Co. The present number fully justifies the encomiums which we bestowed upon its predecessor, and amply realises our most sanguine, anticipations as to the practical utility of the work. The opening article contains some very forcible and appropriate remarks on " Colonies in their political and com mercial Relations to the parent State." We particularly re commend a perusal of this essay at the present crisis. It will be found pregnant with wisdom, sagacity, and truth. We cordially coincide with the author in his views. " The Dirge of Tippoo Sultan" is a very spirited translation of a poem in the Canarese language. The paper entitled " Advice and In formation for Emigrants of the First Class"-will be found of eminent use to those who may intend to take up their resi dence in any of our Colonies. The instructions whichit con:, tains are evidently the result of much experience and obser vation. The essay on " Colonial Banking" displays a thorough acquaintance with the subject, and embodies many useful suggestions. There is a vast fund of statistical in formation in the article on " The Maritime Resources of France and the United States of America." The descriptive account of the French Colony of Martinique possesses con siderable interest. " The Resources of Upper Canada, and the Value of that Province to England" is also an excellent article. The account of "China," and the paper on " Assam Tea," will necessarily attract much attention at the present moment. The remarks on "The State of Religion in the British Colonies" are highly important. The miscellane ous news in the Colonial ..11agazine is both copious and ac curate. The Protestant Magazine. February, 1840. London : F, &aster We cannot do o better service to the cause of Protestantism than by recommending this truly spirited magazine. It will be found replete with information of the highest possible im portance at the present crisis. This number embraces se veral articles of very great merit. The paper on " The Trea sonable Conspiracies of Rome" contains 20M0 fearful dis closures, which, we hope', will serve as warnings to lukewarm Protestants. The " Historical Sketch - of Protestant AssoCi ations" is very interesting. Charlotte Elizabeth's " Illus trations" are powerfully written, and are calculated to pro duce a beneficial effect. The miscellaneous intelligence in this number is well worth reading. The Primitive Methodist Magazine. January and Febru ary, 1810. Liverpool : Thos. Johnson, Dale-street. There are several excellent articles in this number. The " Life of William 'Wilberforce" is well written, and possesses considerable interest. The " Thoughts on the Commence mencement of the Year 18-10," are peculiarly apPropriate. The "Power of Religion Exemplified," though excellent in many respects, is deeply tinged with enthusiasm. -" God's Wisdom and Power Exhibited," is an article ,Well worth pe rusal. The narratives which it embodies cannot fail to rivet the- attention of the most desultory reader. This magazine contains a vast fund of religious intelligence, chiefly interest ing, however, to the body of Primitive Methodists. Sermon. Primitive Methodism, CentenarY Scriptural in its Choracter, and Wesleyan in its Constitution and De sign. A Sermon. By George Revington. Liverpool: Thos. Johnson, Dale-street, 1840. As churchmen we cannot approve of the positions laid down in this sermon. It embraces a succinct review of the character and proceedings of the Methodists from the times of Wesley. It will be found chiefly interesting to the Wes leyan and the Primitive Methodists. The Political Works of the Rec. Robert Montgomery. Vol. 6. The Messiah. 6th Edition. Glasgow: John Symington and Co. 1830. This elegant series of republications is, we are glad to perceive, becoming increasingly popular. This is no more than the intrinsic merits of Mr. Montgomery's works . de serve. Their rich and glowing imagery—their devotional fervour—their Chasteness of expression—and their graceful ness of style, entitle them to the admiration of every reader of taste and judgment. The present volume is, perhaps, the most finished and elaborate of all the author's productions. The subject is one eminently adapted for the successful dis play of his descriptive powers. The copious notes which are appended to " The Messiah" greatly enhance its value, and' will be perused by the Christian reader with as much plea-; s ure as the poem itself. The extensive sale which -Mr. Montgomery's works hare recently commanded, is highly creditable to the public taste. Progress of Socialism. The Bishop of Exeter'4 in Speech House of Lords, Friday, January 2 , 1, 1840. Londontie : W. E. Painter. We are glad to find the powerful speech of the Bishop of Exeter, on' the progress of Socialism, thus printed in a cheap form, for gratuitous circulation. Its extensive distribution among the labouring classes cannot fail to produce much good, Its exposure of the evils of Socialism is complete and triumphant. We hope that every one of our readers mill procure a copy, and aid in the circulation of so useful a tract. The Lilutpic 1119)ara, Te Daum, Jubilate, ti'c. Liverpool : Frederick Dunsfo rd. 1840• This edition of the incomparable, liturgic hymns in the ser vice of the Church of England, will he found of great utility. It divides those hymns into bars of suitable length, as a guide to congregations in the devout exercise of chanting the praises of God, according to the custom of the Established Church. We learn that the profits which may arise from the sale of this publication will be handed over to the Treasurer of the Diocesan Society for the. Building of Churches. The Dispersion and Restoration of the Je►as, the Cleansi,►g of the Sanctuary, and the Second Coming o f eArisi. By Samuel Keut. Liverpool : S. Kent and Co. 1840. This is an excellent treatise on the Second Advent and its conco m itant circumistances. The devout Christian reader will derive both pleasure uml i edification from its perusal. It £mhraces a conciae, iit.the lame time, a comprehensive '1:.~.: • ,J ;-; • ,~~~ view of the prophecies relating to the dispersion and restora tion of the Jews—the cleansing of the sanctuary—the second coming of Christ—his peaceable reign with his saints—and the end of the world. The chronological calculations enter ed into by the author hue evidently been the subject of deep and attentive consideration. They will gratify the curiosity of those who delight in speculating upon the unfulfilled por tions of the prophecies. The events to which they refer must, however, be looked to as the best test of their accuracy.. A Letter . to his Grace the Puke of it elliayton on the Present State of the Country. By Montague Gore, Esq. London :Jarnes FrFer„ 18-10,, a This is a powerfully written tract, and ought to lie ex tensively circulated. Theauthor handles his subject in the most masterly style, and exposes,, with much truth and cogency, the evils which have been brought upon the country by the gross misgovernment - of the present Ministry. This letter ought to be in the hands of every true Conservative. Should we petition Parliament to adopt Measures of Church Extension? London : Hatchards. 1840, The important question which we have just quoted is an swered affirmatively in this excellent tract. The statistical details which it embraces and elucidates afford the strongest evidence of the utter inadequacy of the voluntary principle as the means of providing religious :nstruction for the great mass of the population. The Comic Novel; or, Downing street and the Days of Victoria. By Lynx. With many Illustrations in many Styles, by the Artists' Fund Society. No. 1. London: H. Balliere. Whatever may be the literary pretension's of this new work (upon which point it is almost too early to pronounce a decided opinion), its illustrations are capitally executed, and greater in number than those of any similar publication. Some of the sketches of " Life in London" are extremely well hit off, especially the interview between Sir Kant Mull brain and Mrs. Byway Sharp. It is no difficult matter to identify these characters with the originals. The author of the Comic Novel should avoid punning : his puns are exe crable in most instances. " TWELVE REASONS FOR . NO CONFIDENCE." (Prom the Argus.) I. "NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by churchmen in a ministry whose whole career has been marked by an un mitigated hostility to the establishment, and whose existence depends upon,the support of the perjured Papist enemies of all that is Protestant and Christian in the empire. 11. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed in the Mi nistry by the Chartists, for they have been lured to their destruction by ,the example of those who are now making the gallows the reward for the men they urged to " carry out" the principle of the Reform Bill. 111. " NO CONFIDENCE" should .be placed by the landed interest of England in a ministry which is pledged to reduce our farmers to beggary, by the repeal of the corn laws. IV. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the humbler classes of the country, or their friends, in a ministry which has boasted that they would compel the lower orders of our countrymen to subsist upon " a coarser species of food." V. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the friends of the Colonies in a ministry which devised the destruction of the Jamaica House of Assembly, and drove Canada into rebellion. VI. "NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the interests connected with the East Indies in a ministry which has embroiled us with China, and is bringing on a collision between England and Russia. VII. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by those who feel for the honour of the flag of England in a ministry which has suffered it to he insulted in Africa, in South America,_ in the Mauritius, everywhere, in short, that other people chose to make the experiment, with perfect impunity. III." "NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the moneyed interest in a ministry which has deranged all our mercantile and pecuniary affairs, and is now endeavouring to get on with an empty Exchequer and crippled resources. IX. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the members of the bar in a ministry which has declared absolute war against all that is sacred in the legal institutions of the country. X. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the Peers of England in a ministry which has so grossly insulted them ; nor by the Corporation of London, which they have all but kicked down stairs, and whose Sheriffs they are now keeping in gaol. XI. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the gentlemen of England in a ministry supported by an alien liar, covered with a vow in heaven against all consequences of his ruffianism,—and XII. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the ladies of England, and their friends, who, we hope include all Englishmen, boasting as we do in our national anthem of the manly hands that guard the fair, in a ministry kept in office by the greasy and foetid weight of O'Connell, who made the public declaration at Cork—that nineteen out of twenty women in England are mothers before they are wives. Let this dozen of reasons for " no confidence" suffice. The honour and the prosperity of England have been outraged by these people. We have rebellion and bankruptcy at home. Our Colonies are in mutiny—our Indian empire involved in war. Filth and fraud are predominant in lofty quarters ; tyranny and oppression grind down the poor. The church— the peerage—the corporations—the bar—the gentry—the paupers—have all been affronted, cheated, slandered, robbed. ECCLESIASTICAL AND UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. (I3•oni the Oxford herald.)

CONTEMPORARY PRESS. • - ENGLAND AT WAR. (Prom the Morning Herald.) Amidst the rejoicings which are well adapted to the present season, it is to be hoped that .the leaders of our various political parties will not conspire to over look altogether the alarming circumstances in which the country is placed. Trade languishes. The agri cultural classes are marked out for plunder. The la bourers are filled with discontent. They brood over schemes for the distribution of property on new prin ciples—schemes which never before were familiar to the minds of masses of people. Ireland is " volcanic." The colonies are insecure, and, to some extent, disaf fected. Our influence with foreign states is at the lowest possible ebb. Symptoms of approaching war may be discovered on all sides; and England is abso- lutely unprepared fo defend her own coasts from inva sion. Lord Minto admitted, in the recent debate on the state of the navy, that we are unable to cope with either Russia or France at sea ; and Lord Melbourne declared, that we could not expect to be able to guard our commercial interests, or our honour, at all points ! His lordship's assumption on this point furnishes the reason, we suppose, why the administration, of which he is the head, makes no effort to guard the interests or the honour of England at any point ! The argument of Lord Melbourne is the most pre posterous imaginable. The immense extent of the empire of England—the incalculable amount of her commerce—form no better reason why that commerce and those colonies should, in any way, be exposed to danger, than the immense size of London, and its great wealth, constitute a reason why London should, in some of its districts, be left without the protection of policemen ! The very size of London, and the wealth which it contains, constitute, on the contrary, the strongest possible reason for creating and main taining, in the fullest efficiency, a police force adequate to the protection, at every point, of life and property. The same principle which justifies, and renders neces sary the establishment of a large police force for Lon don, justifies and renders necessary the maintenance of an English fleet, larger than that employed by any power in the world besides. 'f he colonies of England are the largest and most valuable in the world. The commerce of England is by far the most extensive. For the protection of that commerce, and of those co lonies, the soundest economy dictates the employment of a -naval force sufficiently powerful to suppress all attempts on the part of foreign states at injury or in sult. -With an enfeebled navy, one year of war would cost us more than an effectual naval establishment would cost us in a century. The nation, besides, that is not secure at every point, is (despite Lord Mel bourne's dictum) secure at no point ! The chances of a war with France seem to multiply daily. It has long been obvious that France eagerly dssires, once more, to make trial of England's strength at sea ; and to avenge, if possible, the unforgotten and unforgiven defeats of the Nile and of Trafalgar. With this view the English flag has been ostentatiously in sulted at Mexico, at the Mauritius, and elsewhere. France, hawever has . not confined herself in this matter to idle boasting or to the perpetration of un meaning insults. She has diligently improved, and fortified her harbours. She has increased the number of her sailors to an incalculable amount. She has ac complished her naval officers by unceasing practice in manoeuvring, and in the higher tactics of their profes sion. She has created an enormous fleet—a fleet effici ent in all respects, and furnished with all the appliances necessary to work out great 'results.. England, on the other hand, has, under the influence of Joseph Hume's principles,. been busied for fifteen years past, in dismantling her fleet—in.depriving naval officers of all the little privilegei that imparted a liberal air to their noble, profesSion—in paring down their allowanees--and in lessening their chances of honour-, able preferMent. The result is before us. England can only boast of four guard-ships to protect the whole range of her coasts—while her colonies are exposed , to. invasion and to outrage. • France, on the contrary, has in her ports, at this moment, and available' for service. at a moment's' notice, upwards of twenty sail of the line, together with forty-eight ,war . ,steamers, carrying, most of them, guns of an enormous size. Of war steamers, we have scarcely any ; and none of them are equal in weight of metal to the first class war-steamers of France. Sir Robert Peel, in the course of his speech during the no-confidence debate, declared that he had never seen so hostile a feeling exhibited by France towards this country, as at the present moment. The fact ad verted to by Sir Robert Peel is indisputable. Various causes are assigned for it. - A large section of the French people is inclined to believe that the days of England's glory are drawing to a. close, and that the proceis of' her dismemberinent cannot be much longer delayed. The French _pant, moreover, we repeat, to wipe off, at the cost of. Eng-. land, the disgraces that befel their country towards the close of the revolutionary war. Louis Philip, too, it is said, has his own reasons for no longer opposing the' prevailing sentiment on this subject., His health is alleged to be exceedingly delicate; -nay, some persons venture to calculate that no care may suffice t - 0 prolong the life of the King of the Fren‘ch for twelve months longer. Louis Philip knows, that with his life must ' terminate his dynasty, unless. means can be devised to attach the army to it. With the army, however, nothing would be so popular as the attempt to extend the boundaries of France to the Rhine; and such an attempt on the part of France must be the precursor of a general European war. For such - a war, France has been preparing, without intermission, for many years past ; while England has been generously busied in breaking down all her national defences, and in crush ing all the best energies - of her productive industry. In the event of a war with France, it is startling to reflect, that England possesses no naval force sufficient to prevent a hostile fleet sailing up the Channel, and setting fire to London. Such is the prospect . before us in the event of a war which seems impending ! Such, the condition•to which faction has reduced this glorious empire! Such the tendencies of " liberal" policy, with its nostrums, a contracted currency, free trade, and the new poor law ! AN UNFAVOURABLE SYMPTOM IN THE, PENNY POSTAGE. (From the Morning Herald.) Among the other proceedings in the House of Com mons on Friday night, there was one in which agood deal more was contemplated than was intended to meet the ear. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was asked by Mr. Goulburn if the votes, bills, &c., printed by Par liament, were to be sent to members through the Post office, free. •He answered that such an explanation hdd been made by the printing committee ; but that, having a horror of everything that bore the most dis tant resemblance to franking, he could not approve of its adoption. Had he stopped here, the declaration would have sounded very well; but he followed it up by adding, that, although he could not agree to mem bers receiving their papers through the Post-officefree, he had no desire that they should pay postage upon them. What he suggested was that the Post-office should charge the full rate upon all parliamentary pa pers transmitted through it; but, instead of making the charge against the members personally, it should make it against the house, and the house should pro vide for the payment of the whole. What earthly difference this can make either to the members or the country it would puzzle a more ingenious calculator than the Chancellor of the Exchequer to show ; and even as regards the appearance of the thing on the score of franking, two peas cannot be more alike than his plan and the original one of the printing commit tee. In both cases the members get their parliament ary papers by post for nothing—both the object and the end are just the same; there being, in fact, no dif ference in either, except the Chancellor of the Exche quer irftroducing into his plan the clumsy juggle of the executive paying a sum of money to the Post-office, and taking it from the Post-office again. When peo ple take roundabout ways like these to do or say a simple thing, depend upon it they have some tortuous purpose in view; and what is it in this instance ? Why, palpably to contrive that the House of Commons should pay a sum of money—and those who know how volu minous and weighty the papers printed by Parliament are, must be aware that it will be no trifie,,in order to swell the Post-office receipts, and bolster up the new system. This is an unproved mode of " book-keeping by double entry," which does not augur very favoura bly of the manner in which . the system is working. Such attempts at mystification would not be made if the accounts wore a promising appearance. STATE Or TRADE. MANCHESTER. — There was no. improvement in the state of the market yesterday ; the demand, both for goods and yarn, was exceeding flat, and lower prices were very generally submitted to. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, FEBAOTH.— To-day has been a dull market, and very little biisiness has been done, but prices have undergone no change. In the wool market there has also been very little doing, but prices remain firm. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FEB. 11.—This was one of the best markets for many months past, both as regards the quantity of goods sold and the prices realised. The chief demand was in low fancy woollens and some descriptions of light fancy goods. Prices begin to look up, but are far from being remunerating. Wools are in greater demand, with a tendency to rise. Work is more plentiful, and orders for spring and summer goods are tolerably extensive. The warehouses gradually assume a more active aspect. On the whole, there is a decided change for the better.—Manchester Guardian.

MURDER OF A GAMEKEEPER, NEAR MOLD, AND APPREHENSION AND COMMITTAL OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER. `We regret to have to record a most brutal murder, com mitted on Monday night week, in the county of Flint—a county generally remarkable for the infrequency of capital crimes, arid the lightness of capital offences. But in this case, the particulars will disclose a case scarcely exceeded by any on record,' for the cold-bloodedness and brutality with which it was perpetrated. - The unfortunate victim is David Evans, gamekeeper to John Wynne Eyton, Esq of Leeswood, near Mold, for his property in the parish of Northop, being near to Coed-y-llen dre pine, near Mold. . _ _ The de . ceasetl.-who was a man about 45 years •of - rge7 - had on Monday last been following his usual occupation, and was.. returning home in' the, evening. A! little' bet* six o'iclotic;7 ; he passed. thrdugh the farm-yard of Mr. Jones, a respectable farmer, living near to. Coed-y-liendre mine, on the mountain.. leading to Halkin ; and in passing he had some conversation with Mr. Jones and his men. He left them to proceed along. the bye-road leading to the mine ; and in a very few minutes they heard the report of a gun, and a man's voice exClairn,' "Oh ! Lord ! Oh ! God ! " In about ten minutes, a boy leading a mare came to the house, and stated that a man was lying in the lane either dead or drunk, and that he had hard • work to get the mare to pass him. It is remarkable that the boy had passed the same part of the lane on his way to the farm some few minutes before, when the body was not then there ; and having missed his way he had to turn back, when he discovered the body ; but in the interim he had heard a gun fired. Mr. Jones immediately summoned his men ; and it being dark, they went with a lanthorn to the place described by the lad, where they found the body of a man, amid a mass of fresh blood. One of the men immediately recognised the body as that of David Evans, the keeper, who had left the farmyard not many minutes before. They guarded the body, and instantly despatched a messenger to Peter Parry, Esq. the coroner, residing at Mold, and he, after sending inform. Lion to Mr. Wynne Eyton, proceeded to •the place, accom panied by his brother, Robert Parry, Esq. surgeon. Mr. Parry directed the body to be taken to the deceased's own house, and Mr. Jones got a cart and followed his direction. The body of the deceased when examined, presented a most horrid appearance ; the head being nearly separated from the body with some sharp instrument, and the ,face contused as if with a blow, and the head lacerated in several parts. A minute examination showed thalthe unfortunate man had first been shot at. A charge of shot had grazed the muscular part of the right.arm, then penetrated the skin on the right side of the breast, carrying • with it a button from the waist coat, passed under the skin to about the centre of the breast, when .a part.had.broken the skin and escaped, the rest pro ceeding under the skin, fracturing slightly the second and third ribs, and ultimately lodging in the muscles of the left side : only one, shot had penetrated the chest, and that was found loose, the lungs and other. intestine objects being en tirely untouched. This wound could scarcely have been at tended with fatal results. The murderer must then have stunned his victith by a blow with the fowling piece, as a contusion, as if inflicted with some blunt instrument, was found nn the forehead and face, the cartilege of the nose being divided. Then the murderer must have resorted to the use of the knife, as there was a cut of one inch long in the forehead ; four on the right side of the head, one being two inches long. The knife had been stuck in the throat on the left side under the ear, and by one vigourous slash, the whole of the muscles, arteries, windpipe, &c. • divided in the front to the other side, leaving the head attached to the body by the vertebra of the neck and the back muscles. Death must then have'been instantaneous. Mr. Eyton, on hearing of the fate of his servant, sent a messenger off obtain the services of Mr. Hill, superin tendent of the Chester police, and Mr. Copeland, police officer, Holywell. The messenger sent to Chester never went near Mr. Hill,.but contented himself with informing the Coroner for Cheshire of the circumstance, but Copeland arrived in the course of the night. Mr. Eyton also proceeded to the spot; and, in conjunction with Mr. Parry, the Coroner, instituted the most active and searching enquiries, in order to discover the perpetrator of this horrid deed. The exertions to find some clue that might lead to the de tection of the perpetrator of this inhuman slaughter were not long in being rewarded. A lad, in the employ of Mr. Lloyd, a respectable farmer, near to the mine, and concerned in mining operations, stated, that some little time before the murder was committed, and within seven or eight minutes' walk of the place where the deceased was found, a man ac costed him, dressed in a velveteen coat, and in breeches and gaiters, having - a single-barrelled gun on his arm. He asked him what hour David Evans, the keeper, passed morning and evening„ and whether he had heard any shooting ? The lad replied, that he heard two guns fired within five minutes of each other. The *man replied, that he would hear him fire soon • and asked him if the keeper carried a gun ? The lad replied, that he did not know; that he had heard shooting, but he did not know whether the keeper shot or not. The man appeared to have' his face flushed, as if he had been drinking a tittle; and, after telling the lad not to tell any body what he had asked him, he went towards the lane where David Evans was found dead. The time corresponded with that stated by Mr. Jones as the time he saw Evans, and would have enabled the man to arrive at the lane in time to meet Evans•there. The description given by the lad answered to a man named Ed%Vard Jones, who lived in a cottage on the edge of Halkin mountain, about a mile from Coed-y-Hendre mine; and Mr. Eyton, Mr. Parry, Copeland, and Price, the Mold officer, proceeded to his residence : this was early in the forenoon of Tuesday. As they approached, Jones was outside the cottage, and on seeing them he went in. The party went into the cottage, and on seeing the prisoner he had some blood on his face, and Mr. Eyton asked him how he got it? He seemed confused, and said he supposed he got it in chop ping gorse.• He had also some spots of blood on his clothes. They found a singlebarrelied fowling-piece loaded. They informed Jones of the suspicion that attached to him, took him into custody, secured the gun, and brought him away. Jones was identified bythe boy as the man he had seen. On their way to the Leeswood Arms Hotel, Mold, they were joined by Mr. Hill of Chester, for whom a second messenger had - been despatched. On arriving at that hotel4ories•Was told by Mr. Hill that he was suspected of having, murdered David Evans, and he replied that he could clear hiiriself, as he had been drinkinc , from a little before six o'clock till ten o'clock, at a beer shop on the top of the Mountain, kept by John Jones, his brother. Mr. Hill then asked pith how he accounted for being seen by the lad ? He replied, no lad had ever Seen him, .nor slid the lad Say so. - Blood; apparently fresh, was found on his jacket, and on the inner part of the right thigh of his small chitties; and his hat had the markstif bloody fin ers on the left side and on the left rim, and where those marks were, was literally saturated with blood. He did not aecount for these appearance. The shot in the charge of the gun, when drawn and compared "with the shot taken front Evans' side, exactly corresponded. Mr. Eyton being a magistrate, ordered Jones to be detained in custOdy, to await the result . of the coroner's inquisition. On Wednesday, an inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate inan,'at a public-house near to where the body was found, before Peter Parry, Esq., coroner for the county, and the following most respectable jury :—Mr. John Hamp ton, Great House, Mold, fore Man ; Mr. Robert Harrison, Mold ; Mr. .William Marsden, drUggist, Mold ; Mr. John Owen, nailor, Mold ; Mr. John Snow Berrington, coachman,' Mold ; Mr, Robert Williams, Royal Oak; Mold ; Mr. Wm. Williams, Ty Draw, near ,Mold ; Mr. John Jones, joiner, Mold ; Mr. Evan Edwards, draper, Mold ; Mr. Thomas Jones, saddler, Mold ; Mr. Edw. Roberts, Coed-y-Hendre, near Mold ; Mr. Joel Williams, Rhydymwyn, near Mold ; Thomas Richardson Trueman, Bryn Allyn, near Mold. The inquiry commenced at eight o'clock in the morning, and was conducted with great ability by the worthy coroner and patience by the jury, and did not terminate until nearly eight o'clock at night. Ei4ht witnesses were examined in all, in cluding the parties on whose statement the above narrative is drawn out. The body had been examined by Mr. Parry, surgeon, who detailed most minutely the wounds, their ap pearances, and consequences. It appeared from the state; ment.of the witnesses who found the body; that Evans must haVe first fallen in the middle of the road, and afterwards have either struggled or been dragged to the side, as his head was lying under the hedge. There was a gread deal of blood lying at the place next day ; but nothing to indicate there had been much struggling. In fact, the conflict, if there had been one, must, have been very short, and, as the result proves, decisive ; • and by coupling together the leading points in the chain of evidence, not' more than five or ten 'minutes could have elapsed, from the time Evans left Mr. Jones, to the time his dead body was first discovered. The jury re turned an unanimous verdict of " wilful murder against the prisoner Edward Jones," and he was committed on the coroner's warrant to Flint gaol, to await his trial for the offence at the Spring assizes. As might be anticipated the event caused great anxiety to prevail. The atrociousness of the crime—and the novelty .of such an offence in this county—combined to attract together a great concourse of people. Every one seemed anxious that the perpetrator should be detected. All parties directly itt terested in the enquiry displayed great activity and zeal Mr. Eyton, Mr. Parry, coroner, Mr. Parry, surgeon, Mr. Hill of Chester, Mr. Copeland of Holywell, and Mr. Price, the Mold constable. The prisoner, Edward Jones, appears to be a man about fifty years of age, and has already been convicted of felony. tie is a widower, but has four daughters. He has generally had the character of being a poacher ; and assuming that he has committed this horrible murder, the provocation is sup posed to be, that David Evans, the deceased man, was the cause of him being, some time since, convicted in a penalty of £5 for shooting a pheasant. We are also informed that his brother was recently convicted in a similar offence against the game laws ; but there is nothing to connect him with any knowledge of or participation in this offence. The deceased was a very quiet man, and a good servant, and confined himself strictly to the duties of his situation. He was about 45 years of age, and has left a wife and family. Further enquiries are going on, in order to ascertain whe ther any reasonable suspicion rests against any other parties. We have authority for 'stating that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester was prevented from being present upon the occasion of her Majesty's wedding, in consequence of her royal highness having for this last fortnight been con fined to her house, suffering from the effects of a severe cold, and not being sufficiently recovered to encounter the fatigue of a considerable procession at so early an hour.—Morning Herald. REPRESENTATION OF WEST SOMERSET—PEERAGES.---- The conservatives of West Somerset must buckle on their armour, and be ready for the tight. It is stated in some well-informed circles that Mr. E. A. Sanford, M.P. for West Somerset; will be included in the next batch of new peers. And it is further rumoured that Mr. Labouchere, member for Taunton, will be similarly honoured. Two vacancies will thus occur, one for West Somerset, and one for Taunton, and we trust that in neither case will the conservatives allow themselves to be taken by surprise. The most remarkable feature in the contemplated bestowal of dignities, is the omis sion of the name of Sir Thomas Lethbridge. — Dorset County Chronicle. DESIRABLENESS OF TII E QUEEN'S MARRIAGE.—WO copy the following from a pamphlet just published by Mr. Murray, in the form of a letter " On the Marriage of the Queen :"—" Without entering into the detail of the present position and circumstances of the royal family of England, I think I may assume that, by the.general consent of the na tion, without distinction of classes or parties, it was held ex tremely desirable that the Queen should contract a mar riage : most, if not all of us, felt this to be highly important to the best interests of the country. Such being the ease, the Queen must marry either a subject or .a foreigner. If the former, I need not point out to you the jealousies, the intrigues, the thousand inconveniences that w ould probably have ensued. The question then is reduced to this :—' If it was desirable that the Queen should contract an early and - a foreign marriage, where shall we find in Europe a prince to be preferred, on political, personal, or religious grounds, to the consort whom she has herself selected?' " The writer thus continues :—" My friends, I have not yet touched upon the personal character of Prince Albert, "and I shall do so very briefly now. If I were desirous of writing a panegyric upon him, I might probably have little difficulty in adducing satisfactory testimony, even at this early zge, to the extent of his accomplishments, and the excellence of his abilities and disposition. But such is not the purpose of the present letter. I write simply to warn you against unfair prejudice —to remind you of what is due to justice, due to ourselves, and to our national character. A young prince, of Whom we may at least say that report speaks favourably—respect ing whom even the tongue of scandal has spoken no evil—is chosen as the consort of our Queen. Leaving his native soil, and a home where all his early affections have centred, he comes, unattended by the friends of his youth, to throw him self upon the candour and generosity of England, and, with a mind yet too fresh to be imbued with prejudice, he conies to place himself under England's laws, to adopt England's usages, and to b e , ing only in every acceptation of the term birth),(except an Englishman." We think every candid and generous mind will respond to this appeal. Iji ti? Entrlligentr. TUESDAY, FEB. 11.—Wind, W.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 13. Several speculative purchases of Better have been made in the last day or two, and the market has a decided tendency upwards. A lot of prime Belfast; scale inspection, has brought 105 s, other de scriptions rate from 925 to 100 s, according to character of brand and freshness.—Without any important transactions to notice in Pickled Butter, we may remark that holders are firmly requiring an advance in priCe of 2s per cwt. favourite brands being at 86s to 90s per cwt.—The exciting news which reached town this morning from the Celestial Empire, will no doubt have its effect upon the Rrovision market, which has latterly been in an extremely dull state. We are not able to day to give a correct quotation, but should say Beef and Pork; India and Prime Mess, are full di per tierce and barrel higher.—Bacon in fair demand at 48s to .sos for Belfast of good quality. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. .11. We have again to notice a moderate import of Grain from Ire land and coastways, in some degree owing to a continuance of very stormy weather ;—from the European continent and from America, we have had several cargoes of Wheat, but the increased duty (now virtually prohibitory) render them of no immediate value to the country, and duty has been paid on only a small part thereof, although an advance of 2d to 3d per 7Olbs has been demanded and 'obtained for this article FREI?, owing to the scarcity of fine old foreign Wheat and Flour. For all other articles in the Corn trade during the past week here, and in all country markets, the prices last quoted have been fully supported, though the demand has been very limited. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has (as anticipated) been increased Is per quarter, and 7id per barrel on Flour, since last Friday—the duties on which are now 21s Rd per qr. and 13s Rid per barrel on Flour, very much owing to the miserable quality and value of the new Wheat, particularly of that from - Ireland ; very little has been done in bonded Flour or Grain since this day week, and last quotations have not been exceeded, excepting in Flour, very small quantities of which have found sales for export, at 31s per barrel. , At this day's market we have had very dull sales for almost every article in the trade, a small advance was demanded on fine Wheat and Flour, but it was barely obtainable, and we make very little alteration in the general prices of this day week.

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, THURSDAY EVENING. The business of our Share Market has, in the early part of the week, been almost at a stand, owing to the festivities attending the celebration of the Queen's marriage. This day, however, we have to notice a feeling of general improvement in all share pro perty. Considerable inquiry has been made for London and Brighton, Grand Junction, and a few other stocks ; and sales have been made at our last prices. There are, however, few shares offering, and holders generally are firm. BIRTHS. On the 11th instant, the wife of WILLIAM BRADSHAW, a poor weaver, in Widness, near Farnworth, of three boys, who are alive up to the present date. On the I ith instant, at Romaldkirk-hall, Yorkshire, the lady of THOMAS HELMER, jun. Esq. of a daughter. MARRIED. Lately, at Kirkdale, in the winter of life, Mr. JOHN WEIGEL, of Pennyholme, who has, for the last seventy years, stood the piercing blasts of Barnsdale-end, to Mrs. JANE SHARP, who has, for nearly the same period, experienced the still more bitter storms from Rowpah-top. The bride was borne to the church on her favourite ass, which has, for the last twenty-five years, eaten at her own crib and been fed by her own hand; and what rendered the scene more novel was, her solicitor was in attendance at the church yard with a marriage settlement, to secure to her own offspring, at her decease, the hard.wrought earnings of her former years. This caused a delay in the proceedings, and time had nearly told the pre scribed limits for the solemnization of matrimony ere the nuptial ceremony was completed.—Sheffield Iris. On the Ist ult. at St NElolas's Church, Mr. ANDREW MILLER REID, merchant, to MARY JANE RICHARDSON. On the 4th instant, at St. Julian's Church, Shrewsbury, ROBERT, eldest son of JOHN LIGHTBODY, Esq. of Birchfield, Liverpool, to JANE, youngest daughter of JOSHUA PEELE, Esq. of the former place.

Samuel Luke, Mr. GEORGE TUSHINGHAM, of Middlevrieh, (late of Chester.) to ANN, eldest daughter of Mr. THOMAS GARNER, of Princess-street, Chester. On the loth instant, at St. N'icholai's Church, by the Rev.

Townshend, Mr. H. BRAITHWAITE, printer, to ELIZABETH, only daughter of Mr. WILSON, Blair-street. On the 12th instant, at Eccles, by the Rev. Oswald Sergeant.

Monk, JOHN, eldest son of ANTHONY SWAIN SON, Esq. to ELIZA, Only daughter of EDWARD GIBBON, Esq. DIED. On the 25th Nov. at his residence, in Georgetown, GEORGE CAUTY, Esq. To a varied and deep acquaintance with men and manners this gentleman added strong natural good sense and ex • tensive literary attainments. He served in the armies of his Sovereign in different climes both of the East and West; and his exertions, in organizing and disciplining an important portion of • the local military force of this country, at a crisis of unparalleled difficulty and risk, were as warmly appreciated then as they are now distinctly recollected. As a practitioner, also, at our colonial bar, Mr. Cauty early acquired and uniformly sustained a deserved reputation. In the relations of private life, as a father, a husband, and a friend, he was affectionate considerate, indulgent. His last illness, more tedious than falls to - the lot of most men, he bore with the manly fortitude of a true Christian.—Guiana Royal Gazette, 26th Nov. On the lath ult. at New York, of an attack of paralysis, aged 63, Mrs. MARYANN HARDCASTLE, wife of Mr. John Hardcastle, and daughter of the late Rev. John Veals, of the city of London.

He was, for more than fifty years, one of the ornaments of the University of Hanover, but has, for some years, been dead to science, so that the University now loses only his illustrious name. _ _ . . . . On the 26th ult. at the Nottingham General Hospital, aged 31, GEORGE JOHNSON. When only nine years of age his right leg was amputated, and, a few months after, he was deprived of both speech and hearing, and the knee of his left leg withered away. He amused himself in constructing and rigging a ship, though he had never seen one, and his only tool a knife, which, on completion, was exhibited in Nottingham, and at the Mechanics' Institution, Derby. It was noticed in the papers as a great curiosity. On the 27th ult. in the Champ Elysees, in Paris, Mrs. ELIZA BETH K. M. HAY, relict of the late George Hay, Esq. of Virginia, and daughter of the late James Monroe, Esq. formerly President of the United States of America. • On the 3rd instant, at his residence, Blackrod, near Wigan, aged 46 years, JOHN NEATON, Esq. surgeon.
