Altogether he is unrivalled, and stands in fear of nothing —the proudest of the proud, or one so superior in strength.and greatness to the proud ones of the earth that they might well he humbled in the contemplation of him. There are various conjectures re specting leviathan, whether he be whale or crocodile. It is truly a gorgeous representation that is here given of him; nor is the last trait the least impressive, where he is represented as looking down upon all things, and as king over all the children of pride.—Dr. Chalmers' Daily Scripture Readings. THE WEALTH AND AVARICE OF. THE EX-KING OF THE FRENCH.—Loup-Philip falls, and fails, like all selfish men, unpitied. Napoleon was pre-e►itinently selfish, and yet for a long time h managed to conceal his real base ! ness beneath a blaze of false glory. His selfishness led him to covet the extension of his territories and the gran deur of his empire. The King of the French, on the con trary, disclosed the narrowness of his aims, by his intense desire to enrich himself and his. family. The private pro perty of the Dukes of Orleans had remained untouched during the Revolution and the Empire. The Palais Royal, with its streets of shops, and their enormous ren tal, together with other estates of great value, returned to him, improved rather than injured, at the first restoration. The death of the last of the Condes brought the princely domains of Chantilly into the hands of one of his sons ; whilst other events, down to the r. cent death of his sister, rolled millions 4 a ter millions into the coffers of the rest. Prince Joinville had acquired a rich dowry from the Bra zils with his wife; anti, more recently, the Due de Mont pensier had succeeded to the enormous wealth of the In fante of Spain. But time after time Louis-Philip had in volved himself in disputes with his own nation, and finally with England, about dotations for his children, in which he displayed the absence of all that was noble, generous, and lofty. The late affair of the Spanish marriages was an inglorious intrigue for the purpose of enriching and ag grandizing his house. But a few hours have sufficed to lay the whole of his costly filmic in ruins ; and such has been the awful suddenness of the catastrophe, that it has come upon him like an earthquake, and the child of one revolution, the hero of a second, and the victim of a third, stands. like the skeleton of the inhabitant of Pompeii, suddenly overwhelmed with the fiery torrent, which found him in the very act of clutching his money-bags.—Record. INEQUALITIES OF THE INCOME-TAX.—Why should Ty, and who are ready to pay our own al of the nariooal ex- whose incomes CIO not amount to 1;150 ? ,Surely, them is he difference in position between the man who clears £l4O a-year by his trade, and another whose gross profits amount to £155, than between the bitter and the posses e i sor of a revenue of £lO,OOO per annum ? • And yet, the two last. are to be charger fiv aeir incomes, whilst the other, who has the sense to moderate his in dustry, is to be entitled to escape scot-tree ! Another monstrous hardship of the income-tax is its pressure upon professional men, and upon thoe whose incomes are precarious. No distinction is made by the act of 1842, between profits accruing trout realised property, and those • which are entirely the pr uet, or individual and personal • . .• • The man who derives an inco .ntied property, ion tnati the di- vine, the 1 e military officer whose it pressing duty of life, the neees,ity syleg by some pro- vision tor a Ind yet no d istinction wnarever is mane oetween the two. The professional man is compelled year atter year to lay aside a large portion of his income, for the sake of securing, by insurance or other wise, the means of subsistence for his family in the case of sudden death. He may not be able to spend one-half of his apparent income, and yet no deduction is allowed on this account. He must pay for burdens riot hi own, and for ministerial folly in which he was no participator, an amount equal to that which is levied from the iund holder or the man of acres, in the full knowledge that, when he dies, his capital is buried with him, whilst that of the other class remains tangible and available by inhe ritance. This is another ground upon which we decidedly object to the continuance and augmentation of the in come-tax.—Blachwood's Magazine. NATURAL SCIENCE OF THE BIBLE.—Asa specimen of God's workmanship in zoology, the unicorn is mentioned in Job—equally untameable, and beyond the management of human strength or skill. The qurstions regarding him, when thus brought forward in detail, serve to impress us with a sense of our helplessness when we attempt to con trol those forces which God bath instituted, a n d w hi c h He our admiration—not of the strength oniy,bulorthe7;;;;; which pervades the whole of animated nature. In the tribute given to the goodliness of the peacock's wings, we are strongly reminded of our Saviour's testimony to the flowers in the field, surpassing in glory all the array of Solomon. And then what a lurther sanction to the na tural science, which tells of the specialities in the habit and condition of animals; and there are none more fitted to excite our wondtr and interest than those of the os trich, no less signalized by speed and strength than she is by the want of foresight and understanding. There is an obscurity in the clause of " her labour being in vain with_ out fear." Her labour in producing seems not in keep ing with her carelessness and fearlessness as to the pro duct—a carelessness due to the want of wisdom, but which is made up for by Him who ordained and regulates the processes of Nature, by which the heat of the weather suffices for the hatching of the young. aft e r th e eggs are deposited in the sand. From the scorn which is telt by the ostrich for the horse, transition' is made to the horse itself, in the truly magnificent representation of which we have one of the sublimest passages in the Bible. In the clothing of his neck with thunder, the very indefiniteness of the image adds to the immense power; nor can we figure a more gorgeous and impressive picture than is given of this noble creature—it must be left to speak for itself; and the argument passes on to other exemplifications, as the hawk, poising herself in the air, and cleaving it with a power which man is unable to comprehend, and far less to imitate. The description closes with the eagle, king of the birds, and with whom there stand associated so many lofty and commanding images —as the elevated crag in which it builds its nest, the munition of those rocks where it dwells and rears up its young, the pride of its supe riority over all other tenants of the air, whom it holds in perpetual subjection and terror, and seizes upon for its prey. The force of her far-seeing eye, and the ravenous appetite both of herself and her young ones for blood, are here powerfully depicted—all serving to enhance our view of the littleness of man in comparison with the God who made all and sustains all.—. Dr. Chaltners' Daily Scrip ture Readings. EXECUTIONS IN CHINA It is confidently stated that when Keying demanded the execution of four persons for the murder of the six Englishmen near Canton, that the men who were executed offered to suffer, provided certain honours were conferred on their families. In Europe this may appear incredible, but in China, where life is held cheap and the laws are loose, substitutes are found. It was but lately that on sentence of death being passed on a murderer in Hong Kong, he inquired whether he would be allowed to pro vide a substitute. The following account of the execution is given by one who was present : •` The first of the criminals who was brought out seemed to be about 25 years of age, decently dressed, tall for a Chinaman, and strongly made. He had good fea tures, but was ghastly pale, he was gagged, and had his hands tied together behind his back, and his feet were fettered in the Chinese manner. He had a piece of wood, about two feet in length, with a slip of paper at the head of it, sticking down between his clothes and back. This piece of wood is called Cha-peaou, and the criminal's name, with a description of his crime, &c., is written on the paper attached to it. He passed from the boat to the shore along some planking, over which he was supported by a Chinese policeman on each side. There was another policeman behind him pushing him roughly forwards. The eyes of this criminal were rolling about in a fearful manner, as he turned them from the foreign soldiers to the seamen between whom he passed from the boat to the TT . .••...• /Lac 0 , 1//aIC, ./L tilJUUlo ten yams trom the spot where I was standing, with a clear space between, so that I was able to see wry plainly the whole of the proceedings.

They were gagged and fastened in every way like the first man, and were as roughly handled. The executioners. however, - cut their heads completely off at one blow.

I did not see his face, so as to judge of his age. I remarked, however, that he was dressed in very ragged clothes. The executioner had a good deal of trouble to get this man's head in the proper position, and seemed, in consequence of having to handle him so much, to be rather unnerved. for in taking his aim with the sword, in the manner described above. I saw that his hand trembled very much; notwithstanding this, however, he severed the head from the body at one blow. - •• • " The circumstance of the executioner being punishable if he strike more than one blow may account in part for his anxiety and nervousness.

The committee on the Bolton election have declared W. Bolling, Esq., duly elected. Lord John Russell is indisposed, and it is said that he intends to resign office. Lord Robert Pelham Clinton, son of the Duke of. Ne wcastle, is a candidate for the representation of Kinsale. Mr. Benjamin Hawes a sub-secretary in the Colonial Office, and the defeated of Lambeth, is the Whig candi date. The polling is expected to take place on Saturday. Mr. Gregson, the Radical member for Lancaster, has been unseated and convicted of bribery ; and the election has been declared void. At the beginning of the business in the Commons, on Monday, Mr. Hume asked Lord John if the ministry in tended to interfere in the affairs of the French govern ment. Lord John replied in the negative. A deputation, consisting of Lord Robert Grosvenor, Rev. George Everard, Mr. Field, &c. &c., had an inter view with Lord John Russell on Thursday, to present to his lordship a petition to the House of Commons for the repeal of the legacy duty on charitable bequests. The parties to the petition against the return of Fear gus O'Connor for Nottingham, have, for some cause not explained, signified their intention not to proceed with it before the election committee, and as a matter of course he has been declared duly elected. The Chancellor of the Exchequer in the course of the debate on Monday in the House of Commons stated, that he had the authority of Government to announce that it it was not their intention to press the increase of the In come Tax, but to continue it as at present for the ensuing three years. • For Lyme Regis, the case for bribery against the sit ting member has failed, and the tables are now turned against the petitioner, Sir Fitzroy Kelly. But, to judge by the disclosures going on, if ever there was a " rotten" borough under the old system, the reformed cons.ituency of Lyme is deserving of the title. A new writ has been ordered for Kinsale, in the room of Mr. Guiness, unseated. When the news of Mr. Gui ness's defeat reached Kinsale, most disgraceful riotings took place among the radicals. Lighted tar barrels were carried through the town, and the houses of several of Mr. Guiness's supporters were attacked, and the windows broken. • WATERFORIL—The nomination took place on Saturday week. The poll was appointed for Tuesday, and at the doge the numbers were—for Sir H. W. Barron (Liberal), 319 ; Mr. Costello (Old Ireland), 301; Mr. Meagher, 154. The last named was the Young-Ireland candidate, but he eleven o'clock, at which hour he retired RESIGNATION OF THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR IN ENG LAND.—The French charge d'affaires, the Comte de Jar con: received, on Tuesday, a communication from M. de Lamartine, announcing that he had become minister of foreign affairs in France, and tendering him, in very flat tering terms, th e office f representing the French repub lic at this court. The count, in reply, regretted his in ability to accept the mission in the spirit in which it was offered by M. de Lamartine, and requested that he might be superseded as early as possible. IRELAND. ill doing at Mayo from About twenty men charged with Ribbonism have, with all their papers, been lodged in Lifford gaol. Henry A. Herbert, M.P., pays the entire poor-rate for his numerous tenantry in Kerry, and all he demands in return is a diligent cultivation of their farms. An English gentleman, resident at Kinsale, is now ma nufacturing oil from sprats very profitably. During the past season he has caught forty-four ',oat loads, and from these he procured fourteen puncheons of oil, which he sold during last week in Cork at ls. 2d. per gallon. In the Roman Catholic diocese of Ossory, which in cludes the county of Kilkenny, the priests have been enj)ined by their diocesan, Dr. Walsh, to abstain from all political P" ns whatever, and even to desist from suliscribing to the " Conciliation Hall" rent. At a meeting of the Young Ireland party in Dublin, on Thursday, Lord Wallscourt was in the chair. One of the speakers rem: mended the formation of a national guard " to defend the country." The meeting ended with cheers for a " young republic." Mr. C. Cahill has retired from the Repeal Association, because " it does not appear that there is any honest or bona fide intention evinced by their acts to carry out their professed object ; and besides, if a man followed a lion, it is not a necessary consequence that he is to be led by a mouse AWFUL OCCURRENCE —On Friday, Mrs. Armstrong, respectably connected), in a fit of temporary insanity drowned herself and her three young children. She tied two of them on her back, took the third in her arms, tr'd deliberately walked into the sea. They all perished.—Sligo Champion. There are not less than 27,000 persons on the out-door relief in the union of Ballinrobe, Mayo. The cost of out door rations is about £BOO per week, and, with the ex pense of the workhouse, would amount to £50,000 per annum. The whole valuation of the union amounts to £BO,OOO per annum only. A COMPLIMENT. — TiIe Dublin Post of Thursday, al luding to the affairs in France, the finance difficulties in England, and the clamour raised against the measures proposed for the national defences, concludes by saying : —" We declare solemnly, we regard the crisis which is approaching as the most terrible England has seen since the battle of Hastings. And it is the more terrible, be. cause of the stupid sleep, or nightmare rather, in which the whole community is so swinishly buried." The great rock of Cashel has fallen. In connexion with this ancient monument exists one of those prophe cies which abound so much in the traditional history of Ireland—namely, that, the year which witnessed the fall of the rock would also see a great revolution in England. Not a peasant in Munster who does not believe this. A funeral procession reached the spot a few minutes after the fall. Had it reached before, the loss of life might have been most fearful. FEARFUL MURDER.—On Friday night week, a young woman named Mary Herlihy was found on the Monerea Marsh, Cork, bleeeding profusely from a stab in the neck. The stab was inflicted with a-knife which was found on the spot the following morning. The caroted artery and jugular vein were completely cut across. The moans of the woman first attracted observation, but she died almost immediately after being discovered. The deceased was pregnant at the time she was murdered. TOM FOOLERY.—On Wednest'ay, the members of the " Desmond Confederation," Young Ireland Club, Castle street, Cork, had an immense piece of tri-coloured bunt ing floating in the breeze from their building, with the view of fraternising with their mercurial brethren in France, now luxuriating in the excess of revolution and anarchy.—ln the evening the windows were illumiated, and a large placard, conspicuously placed, bore the words France is Free! an example to the WORL D !" A POSER.—The Rev. J. W. Franklin, rector of Clon mulsk, Ireland, says, " I would rest the question with the advocates of the National Board on the following fact 'l' A -- • ' ..at, supposing a school in whic, arty children were reading the Scriptures, if any one individual of them, through the interference of their parents or their priest, were to complain of offence being given to their religious feelings by the rule of the National Board, the remaining forty-nine --yes, though thirty of them were Protestants —would be compelled to give up their Bibles during school-hours. I challenge the great doctors on the side of the board to deny the fact; and if they admit it, to show me how the Scriptures are honoured under such a system." CONVICTIONS.—At the Roscommon assizes a man named Donoughoue was put upon his trial for mur- uer. r rom the evidence adduced there was not a shadow of doubt as to the guilt of the prisoner, who called no witnesses for the defence; and the jury, without hesita tion, brought in a verdict of "guilty." The prisoner did not seem much moved. He was sentenced to be executed on the 22nd. inst. Patrick Flynn, who had been tried and found guilty of the murder of Michael Duignan, was then put forward.

Savery, was driven on shore near Arklow, in the storm on Saturday night. She left Dublin on Saturday night. bound for Rin do Janoirn_ with a large ceeded farther Wail the coast of Wicklow. when the Wind suddenly shifted to S.E., S. and S.W., blowing a most terrific gale that carried away her topmast. Becoming, in a degree, encumbered, and the sea breaking fearfully over the bulwarks. fore and aft, she was driven on shore. The crew, about 16 in number, we are happy to state, were all saved. The captain (J. Savery) writes as follows : —" Ihe rollers making a breach fore and aft, washing everything before them, bulwarks. stanchions. spars, boats, ana all on deck, we drove on shore at 3 p.m., and in this miserable condition we remained till 9 a.m., cling ing to the mizen rigging, the sea breaking over us enough to smother the men, till Lieut. Lyons, and some of his men, accompanied by some of the humane inhabitants of Mizen Head, rendered us ever y ass i s t ance i n rescuing us from our awful situation, by hauling each of us from the ship to the shore with a hauling line. During my stay on the wreck, endeavouring to see my crew safe on shore, I could not but admire the daring and intrepid courage of one of Lieut. Lyon's men, James Dillon, often nearly forfeiting his own life to. rescue others. As for myself, should, I think, have died with the cold, only for his tu-' manity in sharing with me part of his own clothes. I have not saved a single article. The vessel's bottom keeps well together, and if the weather moderates, I should hope some of the cargo might be saved." We under-. stand the vessel is insured.—Cork Examiner. ANOTHZ SAMPLE OF A ROMISH PRIEST.—At the Waterford election, last week, Mr. Costello was proposed by a Roman Catholic priest, of the name of Cuddihy, and throughout the - entire of his speech the audience manifested the most unequivocal impatience, disgust., and contempt - of the speaker. G r oans, hooti ng ; an d cries of " you down with hina"—" out with him," &c., greeted him throughout the entire performance; and one of the crowd went the length of asking, when he com plained of such language being held to a priest, " And what business has a priest in such a place ? "—in interro gatory with which the rev. shouter did not attempt to deal. His language in addressing his flock is a perfect anthology. "Oh you ungrateful wretches," he exclaims —" oh yozdastardly crew"—" oh you mad individuals." This cornplimentory effusion was followed by " cheers, groans, and tremendous confusion." Then came an eminently decent and humane allusion to the late Thos. Davis. " Davis, the coward. who ran away from the monster meetings." Loud cries of shame compelled the reverend gentleman to direct his Billingsgate elsewhere, and hoturned upon the Youn g Ireland party, coll ec ti ve ly, as " cut-th roat f e l ons ," an d a " foul and filthy gang." Mr. Cuddihy is particularly happy in repartee. Here is a sample Mr. Doheny is to be proposed as a candidate to make a speech ; but I can tell you he was not let open his mouth in his own. county at a meeting lately. (Cheers, and cries of " You Mr. Doheriy—l was not there at all. (Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. Cuddihy—You had the audacity to call the Li berator a, liar : do you dare call me a liar? (Cheers and groans.) Mr. Doheny—l repeat, I was not at the meeting lt all. (Great applause.) The Rev. Mr. Cuddihy—l saw you there, and how dare you tell me a lie to my face? (Cheers, and cries of " You are a, Han"): Take also the following : The Rev. Mr. Cuddihy—" Hang the calfskin on those recre ant limbs." (Yells, and cries of " Kick him out.") There is. none of you able to do-it ; but for this (pointing to his coat) heat the best half dozen amongst you. (Cheers and hisses.) What can be more polished than his sarcasm, too ?. Take an example:— Imagine Mr. Meagher and the paltry Nation gang going to war with Queen Victoria. Oh, Beelzebub! (Groans and laughter.) The nice propriety which regulates the Rev. Mr. Cud dihy's oratory is pre-eminently observable in the passage in which lie arraigns Mr. Meagher of irreligion : He (Mr. Cuddihy) arraigned Mr. Meagher for— A voice—The colleges. The Rev. Mr. Cuddihy—Damn the colleges I wonldnot Aire a damn fdr them. (Cheers, and cries of " Shame.") The rev. gentleman then went on to say he arraigned Air. Meagher for infidelity. erntral filtgrellanD.

Nine nex houses are about to be commenced upon the Castle Lawn, Douglas, Isle of Man. The slate trade in North Wales is in a depressed state owing to free trade. The export of iron ore has alto gether ceased. Prince Louis Napoleon has retired from Paris, and ar rived in London. The French provisional government did not wish him to remain in that country. The importations of cheese from foreign parts into this country for the year 1847, were 355,253 cwt., for 1846 they were 341,682 cwt. House bread is now selling in London at 41d. the four pound loaf—the lowest price at which bread has ever been sold in the metropolis. The French residing in London - have resolved to pro ceed in a body to the French Embassy to deposit the manifesto of their adhesion to the Provisional Government. Mr. Sampson, a young farmer at Hillsley, near Walton under-Edge, a few days since, quarrelled with his family about a very trivial matter, and in consequence of the dis agreement left the house, wished the family •` good bye," and shot himself. At Winchester, last week, Mr: Bishop, the manager of a branch hank at Christchurch, was convicted of en►bez zlement. The deficiencies are stated to be £B,OOO. There was also an indictment for forging an I 0 U for. £8,470. He had been engaged extensively in railway speculations. An affray between five poachers and three keepers took place at Cadland. near Southampton, on Sunday morning week. One of the keepers, named Payne, had his skull fractured by a blow from one of the poach , :rs with the butt end of the gun, and he expired on Thursday. CHLOROFORIII.-Dr. Simpson has computed that of 300 operations performed with ether and chloroform, fewer proved fatal than is usual in the same cases without these agents. Of 1,088 cases of amputation of the thigh, with out an anmsthetic agent, 44 in 100 died ; out of 135 ca es with ether or chloroform, 33 only died—or 24 in 100. On Wednesday week, Frederick Douglas, aged 26, a coalheaver, at Richmond, whilst attempting, for a wager of half a gallon of beer, to carry a red-hot poker between his teeth round the room, slipped, and drove the poker into his throat. The poor wretch died next day in excru ciating agonies. CHEAP GAS A PAYING CONCERN. — Notwithstanding the Whitehaven Gas-light Company thought fit to lower (some two or three years ago, at the positive request of the con9umers) the price of gas in that town, from Bs. to 4s. per 1000 cubic feet, the directors, at their last half yearly meeting. held on the 18th ult., made a favourable report. " THE ROBBERY OF DR.

Lloyd and Mahony were transported fel. ; Evans was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment The friends of Mr. Buckingham are raising a testimo nial fund for the purpose of building a public lecture room in London for the advocacy of temperance, &e. It is a very appropriate and delicate way of testifying to Mr. B.'s labours. Amongst the subscribers are Prince Albert, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Cleveland, and the Earl of Devon. • CAMBRIDGE.—A tradesman of the town, a hairdresser, perfumer, and printseller, has just been discommuned for a month by the Vim-Chancellor and Heads of Houses, for taking legal proceedings for the recovery of a debt against a bachelor of arts of two years' standing, of Trinity College, without first giving notice to Mr. Thompson, the Tutor of the College. r3HOCKING BRUTALITY :=KIRICALDY.—A train of cir cumstances has led to the discovery of one of the most horrible instances of the depravity of human nature with which we have met. A boy of the name of Fife, of weak intellect, has been found living in an old press, lying amongst rotten straw in a state of filth almost indescrib able. The inhuman parents have been apprehended. A SIMPLE PROCESS OF FILTERING RIVER WATER.— A proCess is described by Mr. John Aird, of Greenwich. in the Builder, as in use on the Thames. It- consists merely of a cylinder or well, without bottom, but with a close covered top, sunk into clean sand and gravel, within about ttventy-five feet of low-water mark, and containing the end of a suction-pipe leading ashore to an engine, through which an almost continual or inexhaustible sup ply of clear filtered water is said to be got. The Leeds Intelligencer mentions that, on Wednesday week, a man who was drinking in an alehouse at Nether Thong, near Holmfirth, quarrelled with another man, and swore that he would place him on the fire, which was blazing, on the hearth. He rose to fulfil his threat, seized the other man, and after swearing a disgusting oath, was in the act of lifting him from his seat, when his hold sud denly relaxed, and he fell dead on the ground. Between Saturday evening and Monday morning week, the premises of the Worthing branch of the Joint-Stock Company's Bank were entered by thieves, who carried off £6OO or £7OO in notes and gold. Several trifling articles were also taken, and a ledger weighing about 251bs. It seems probable that this was taken on the supposition that it contained the numbers of the notes. and that all clue to them would be thus removed. The number, how ever, of every note has already been made public. ABERDEEN.—More than ordinary interest was excited at the election of Lord Rector for Marischal College this year On account of the students having nominated two gentlemen of high literary :pretensions, Lord Robertson of the Court of Session, and Mr. Benjamin Disraeli, M.P. The election took place on Wednesday, when Lord Ro bertson had a majority in all the nations." Lord Robertslon has promised to deliver ins inaugural address o the students at his installation at the end of this month. FOREIGN GRAIN.—On Monday and Tuesday last up wards of 14,500 bags of wheat alone were exported, chiefly from. Hamburg into Hull, besides sundry parcels of pease, beans and barley.

Mr. Bateson, curate, (who for some unknown reason has been unexpectedly dismissed from his curacy), for the purpose of showing their respect for him, and their esteem of the zealous performance of his ministerial duties. The meeting was attended by the resident gentleman ; and a handsome subscription was commenced, which will iusiuwea up oy an active canvass, in order to present to Mr. 'Bateson . a suitable testimonial, on his removal to another sphere of usefulness. DESECRATION OF THE SABBATH IN LONDON.--It is reported that there are in London twenty thousand tradesmen, &c., who pollute the Lord's-day by following their worlily occupation. There are about 1200 shops open every Sabbath at Westminster, and thousands of public-houses likewise ! We feel disposed to ask the ssione of Education what reason y as sign for this ? rs Is it because the " people are the ignora would nt of the English language ?" [Yet those who want to have the day a little better observed, and so to give numbers hey are now robbed, are Mawworms," " fanatics," termed " Sabbath-howlers and " hypocrites !"] Tny. " ISLE OF MAN COMMERCIAL BANKING Com- PA NI , " suspended Payment on Wednesday ; their issue of local notes are known to be large, and their other liabilities are also, it is feared, very considerable ; while nothing satisfactory has transpired as to their assets. This is the second and sole remaining Joint Stock Bank in that island which has •exploded. Messrs. Henry noltnes, Sons and Co., are now the only bankers in the Island;. nd they are said to have declined receiving new accounts. Hence every way the private as well as the trading and mining operations of that island are reduced to P:depiorable condition. A HEAVY Asarzt !—Looking at the amount - of 'crime in other counties of England, we were rather struck. w ith the following intimation in a country paper respecting the Westmorland Assizes :—" The criminal business-is unit, sually heavy, ekalprisoners committed for trial." TRIAL OF ANNETTE MEYERS FOR THE MURDER OF HENRY DUCKER.—On Friday at the Old Bailey, Annette Moyers was put on her trial for the murder of Henry Decker,. a soldier in the Coldstream Guards. She ap peared hut little Agitated *hen she took her place in the dock. but became more affected as the trial proceeded. It is unnecessary to re-state the evidence. She was-found guilty, The jury strongly recommended her to • mercy, on account of the extraordinary provocation she received. The judges then. pct on their black caps, and the Chief Baron passed sentence of death in the u •ual form. The prisoner was then removed from the dock without, uttering a word. She looked very pale, and was seated during the trial, and kept her handkerchief to her face nearly the whole time, and appeared to be crying. ' A HEALTHY ThsTitlCT.—The parish of Romaldkirk, North Yorkshire, is the largest in extent in the kingdom, with the exception of one other. It contains a population of 2379 persons, and within its wide circuit are the town ' ships of Cotherstone (from which Mr. Bowes' celebrated ' rare horse received its name) and Mickleton, which has likewise given a name to that gentleman's racer, the • Mickleto-n Maki. For the last six months only, sixteen deaths have taken place, and not a single case of irillit enza or fever has occurred. Amongst the deaths were very old people: —one died at the age of 101, another 94, another 92'. another 84, and two 79.

After the meeting, from 1,500 to 2,000 marched in procession through the streets to the office of the Treasurer, when a deputation was appointed to confer with that gentleman as to what was, to be done in regard to the urgent necessities of the unemployed. We under stand that at the moment he was engaged in issuing circulars for a meeting of committ,p (II tt,, .t 1 Liu ualgimirittes being members of the same) with a view of consulting as' to the state of matters. This seemed to be satisfactory to the deputation. who announced the same to the assem blage, and advised them to depart quietly, which they did.—Glasgow Paper. APPREHENSION BY A FEMALE.—On Tuesday a fellow was seen near this town to go up to the cottage of a poor woman, 'and soon after a shirt was missed. Sus picion falling upon the stranger, a woman named Martha Bartup, living next door, immediately started in pursuit of him, and after a tao h P..14C.

She then led her prisoner back to Takely, but unfortunately on arriving there found that the constable was at Chelmsford attending the sessions. Determined not to give up her Captive until she had safely handed him over to the law, she started with him for Dunmore police-station, a dis tance of four miles, and had marched him a great part of the way, still holding him by the collar, when a waggon came up, and the driver put the fellow into it. The wo man, with meritorious perseverance, walked behind to prevent him from escaping ; but before they reached Dunmow, a police-officer drove up, and the thief being given up to him, was safely lodged at the police-station. On Friday he was committed for trial—Chelmsford paper. A MAN MURDERED BY HIS SISTER.—On Saturday week a man named Harris, along with a married sister named Mary Hooper, went to Honitoil-market with a cartload of hay to sell. This they effected, and then went to a public-house, where they partook of some refresh ment. and deceased became inebriated. Instead of tak ing the cart home themselves, they sent it home by another person, the deceased imagining that the walk would enable him to get the better of the drink he had taken. The moment after he commenced walking, however, he stumbled and fell down in the road. His sister came to him and persuaded him to get up, but he was unable to do so. She then flew into a violent passion, struck him several times with her fists without being able to rouse him, when at length she kicked him in a most brutal manner over the bead and face. Her shoes having heavy nails in them, the front teeth were knocked out, and the head terribly mangled ; so much so, that death ' , sued. A neighbouring farmer ftF - iount. —le unfortunate man deluged with blood, and-scarcely able to articulate. Mary Hooper was committed to the Devon county gaol on the capital charge. An extraordinary degree of excitement has been pro duced at Aberdare by a report of the state of society in that parish, written by the Rev. J. Griffith, the Vicar, and printed in one of the Blue-books of the Commis sioners on Education. The l eport states that drunken. ness is very prevalent at Aberdare, that the men are des titute of decency before women, and, vice versa", the women of feminine modesty before men, morality being at a low ebb with both ; that workmen in many instances live in dwellings too expensive for their station in life, and that there is a great want of provident foresight, &c. On Wednesday night a crowded meeting was held in Siloa Chapel, Aberdare, when, although it was admitted that there was drunkenness and immorality in the parish, it was contended that the general body of the inhabitants had made as much progress in improvement as those of other places. The statement about the luxurious dwell ings was also denied ; it was complained that Mr. Griffith had made his report within one short month of his com ing to reside in the parish. Resolutions to this effect were agreed to ; the objectors, however, disclaiming any personal towards the Vicar, or hostility towards the Established Church. MISTAKEN USE OF CHLOROFORM.-A few days since a female of Hereford being in a delicate state of health, intended to take a composing draught, but by mistake a bottle of chloroform was given to her, of which she swal lowed only a tablespoonful as it stopped her breath. In a few minutes she began to feel great prostration—confu sion of ideas—and faintness followed by vomiting (a single attack) the gruel she had recently taken, smelling strongly of chloroform. After this the prostration became extreme so that scarce any pulse could be felt by those about her ; and she then fell into a tranquil sleep. As soon as she felt F -elf ;" le bottle was examined and the medical attendant sent for; but before his arrival she began to mend, though still sleeping: her pulse had become stronger and beat about 80 in the minute; and she could be roused to make brief replies, by dashing cold water on her head and face. A mild emetic was administered with difficulty —which acted immediately : some cordials were now cautiously administered and she gradually %vent on impro ving, so that, in about four boure,- dl.e woe pretty nearly " herself again." It is remarkable that she had no pain in the head in the attack or afterwards—the pupils were neither dilated nor contracted—she experienced nn a, 4A,GLI culty in breathing—and but littl e dislike of light or sound. GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP COMPANY.—The ge neral annual meeting of this Company took place on Thursday last, at their offices in Bristol. Henry Bush, Esq., having been called to the chair, the report of the directors was read and adopted. It stated that the Great _Western steam-ship had been sold since the last meeting for the sum of £25,000, as she came from sea, subject to a deduction of £250, for removing her to Kingroad, and replacing her paddle-wheels. The fortunate recovery of the Great Britain from Dundrum Bay was next adverted to; the expenses attending the operation for protection and removal, after deducting the proceeds of materials, amounted to £12,670 Ms. Id. On this ship's arrival at Liverpool she was surveyed by Mr. Patterson and Mr. Field, of London, on behalf of the Company, and by Mr. Grantham and Mr. Cassidy, on *the part of the un derwriters, The estimates for restoring her to the con dition she was in previously to her stranding were, for hull, masts, sails, cabins, boats, anchors, cables, &c., £15,886 ss. Od.; machinery £5,808, making together £21,694 ss. The directors then state that an amicable arrangement had been come to with the underwriters at Liverpool, for an immediate settlement, on terms differ ing but slightly from the original claim, and that they had reason to believe the underwriters at Glasgow would be induced to settle on the like terms. After this had been effected, negotiations for her sale would have the best attention of the directors. rlt first it - 26 - 27 - 27 -26 Lion ; bat lamentableto state, poor lonnghusband perish ed in the breakers.

Perhaps, on the whole, the more peaceable character of the re• cent accounts from France. has tended to remove some portion of the extreme distrust which prevailed a week ago; and more inquiries 'have been made for yarn suitable for India, though hitherto, we believe, without producing much actual business. Notwithstanding the suspension of purchases however, and the decline in the Liverpool cotton market, there is not so great a change in prices here as might. ' , Primps, have been expected. Whilst stocks and railway snares have fallen d ec id e dl y l ower than at any former period during the last twelve months, goods and yarn have not sunk to the extreme rates whieh prevailed a few weeks ago; and a return of confidence in the preservation of peace, would probably lead to a speedy improvement. We understand that some exception has been taken to the correct ness of our statement as to the rate of insurance demanded and paid on 'shipments to the Mediterranean, because insurances were effected at much lower rates by London underwriters. We have consequently made some further inquiries, and are enabled to repeat, that although policies were underwritten in London at four guineas to .e 4 10s. per cent.,—from 10 to 12 guineas was the rate demanded and paid in Liverpool. We understand that the reduction in the hours of labour is still extending on all sides ROCH DALI We have had a very still market, and the busi ness transacted has been more limitea than that of last week. In wool there has been very. little doing, and prices are merely nominal. LEEDS. — There is no change of importance to note in the woollen trade this week. A moderate amount of business con tinues to be done; but events in France have checked sales. BRADFORD.—WOOI : Notwithstanding all the accounts of disturbance in France, and the general limited use of Cobourg wools, still there is no disposition to press sales. The supply of skin wools, which is now becoming good, and combing length, does not affect the price. The stock in the market con tinues only bare, and contrary to former years, country supplies are not sent forward, which is accounte d for by their being in the hands of the growers, who are firm holders for prices far inn hinh to •e. •tr . - - —..., E , erns : 1 nere is decidedly more inquiry for yarns suitable for the shippers; and contrary to their expectations the stocks ready spun are reduced to a lower point than for many years. The mouseline de-laine trade is now active, and large quantities are in regular consumption. The buyers for home use are also more free to buy for delivery. feeling confident that as soon as the spring trade opens more demand will operate and bring an increase in prices. —Pieces. We cannot hear anything particularly different in the demand, which is not very animated, but quite equal to the quantity making. _ _ HAI:IFAX.—Even if there had been any tendency towards * better. state of trade, the convulsions in the political world would have checked it. There were scarcely any merchants In our Piece Hall on S.4titrday, and the French revolution was the only topic of conversation. There is a slight improvement in the demand for Yarn, owing to the shippers coming into the market, and the spinners are firm in demanding old rates. Se veral mills have resumed full time. The stock of deep grown wools is short, and some sorts inquired for, though the con sumption still falls below an average. Prices without varia tion. NOTTING HA N.—Lace : We are happy to announce that the foreign trade is very brisk. The home trade, we regret to say„ continues to be flat. Hosiery: If there is any change to be no ticed from onr last, we fear it is for the worse, as most branches of the trade have experienced another shock of great depres sion, quite unprecedented at this season of the year; this, in some measure, may be partly accounted for from the political agitations at home, together with the attention paid to the strife abroad, all tending to increase the want of that confi dence which is now so much needed to give an improved tura in the commercial world. LEICESTER.—The worsted hosiery trade still continues in is very depressed state, and the manufacturers make with ex- treme caution. There is no pushing of goods into the market, as they are aware, to make sales, it would be at a ruinous sacri fice. The cotton branch is more brisk, and one or two heavy sales have been effected; still, the spring demand has not yet taken place, nor are there any shipping orders at present to re lieve the market. Worsted yarns are dull of sale, although wools continue firm.
