In addiiton to the large arrivals of gold • an nounced in the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES of this day, we have to report 8,000 ounces by the Hope, which arrived on Saturday, according to our Lon don advices, from the West Coast of Africa. The Jane Charlotte, from Adelaide, and the Duke of Richmond, from Portland Bay, are also reported to have a considerable quantity of specie on freight. The amount was not known when our despatch left London. The importations of gold for the last week were 535,0001., which, when added to those now stated, makes the aggregate amount about 660,0001., while the exports for .the week ending Saturday, amount to 336,0001. only. The Duke of Richmond brings 1,432 bales of wool. _ _ The influx of gold is now considerably greater than the eflux, and consequently it may be fairly inferred that the Bank of England will not advance its rates of interest, but on the contrary, will shortly be disposed to make some slight conces sion to the trading community. We are watching closely the movements of bullion, subsequent to its arrival in this country, and thus far it does appear that the large quantities of the precious metals which have arrived within the last few months, have not found there way to the cellars of the Bank of Eng land. The Joint Stock Banks have now stood the test of. time, and their increasing popularity may in some measure account for the fact we have alluded to. Recent returns show that the deposits in the Joint Stock Banks of London alone, amounted to 14,000,0001, which is an increase of 14 per cent. over the same period last year. We have been favoured with private advices from St. Petersburg, date d. the 17th inst., from which we make the following extract : " The Minister of Finance desired the attendance of a deputation of four English merchants, in consequence of which Messrs. Gwyer, Anderson, Cattley, and Bell waited upon him, when they were told, in the name of his Majesty the Emperor, that British merchants might continue to transact their business in the usual way, as both their per sons and property should be respected, whether this country be at war with England or not. This is both noble and reassuring to all those who have property in Russia, and ought to produce the best impre ssion on y our side. Not a word more is so far heard of the Manifesto, which was to have appeared, it is therefore presumed that the rumour was without any foundation." The Liverpool Cotton Market was firm again to-day, and 6000 bales were sold at yesterday's prices. Of this quantity 500 bales were taken on speculation. We here submit to the trade a care fully prepared return of the Cotton now at Sea for this port, from the United States of America, with dates names of ships, clearances, &c., NEW YORK, September 26th, October sth, sth, ‘' 6th, '• 7th, " 7th, 750 500 896 643 America, Jersey, Sardinia, Continent, 1 1000 about Ashburton, September 17th, CHARLESTON, October Ist, Susan, G.

GLASGOW MARKETS-YESTERDAY STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT. 24th.--In consequence of ser vice being in the city churches this afternoon, the Stock Exchange was not to open till past 2p.m. ; 2Q hours later than usual. The Rev. Wm. Hughes, Incumbent of St. David's in this town, has just taken the degree of Bachelor in Divinity. We hear that Mr. Hughes was one of 2Equales for the Classical Prize, the Latin and Hebrew prizeman, and like wise a first classman of his college. THE NORTHERN DR. .ATEIV.ArAY S LECTURI The third of Dr. NEWMA.N'S lectures was delive, Catholic Institute, at half-past seven o'clock, last m t ., The room was even more densely crowded than upon either of the former occasions. Dr. Newman proceeded to detail the series of events by which the Turks became established in Europe. When the Turks first really appeared in his tory, although their name was mentioned before, was about the time when Atilla descended upon the Roman empire, about the year 450, and they then appeared in Asia, about Mount Altai, as a nation of slaves, the workmen of the ce quering Tartars. Yet in fifty years after, with true impetuosity, this nation of slaves had spread ow' empire, to the southern and western, and to the north sue. had got to the north as high as Kamschatka, to the west as far as the Caspian Sea, and even to the river Volga, and had gone nearly down to the mouth of the Indian ocean. That empire lasted about 200 years, from about 545 to 745. was a Turkish-Tartar empire, because the race at that bore all the characteristics of the pure Tartar. pened that the Romans had intercourse with them mans, was meant at that time the southern empire, Greco-Roman empire, whose capital was at Constantino' The Romans sent an embassy to the Turks, all acres. and the records of that embassy established th- " had all the Tartar customs and peculiarities, their ceremonies, their food, their banquets, acrd their nificence. That Turkish-Tartar empire came to an end in about 200 years ; but, by a strange paradox, that event caused the elevation of the Turkish race, for it commenced the destruction of the old Tartar empire, uncle: had lived, and was the beginning of their civilization. Turks now began to approach Europe, and here began separation of the race into two branches ' which entered i different ways. Those who came across Mount Altai, any by the sea of Aral, were the Turks who were in Constanti• nople at this day, and who might be called civilized. Those who came down by the Caucasus, between the Caspian and the Black sea, were those who were now called Tureomans, and who still remained uncivilized. This lecture had nothing to do properly with the Tnecomans but he men tioned them in order to show what the Turkish race originally was, and he should briefly dispose of the history of the uncivilized branch. At the time that the Enlperor Heracleins was on the throne of Constantinople, which was about the era of the Hegira, in the early part of the 7th century, the Persians were great enemies of the Romans, and the Persians got all the barbarians of Europe, who were just where Russia is now, and were pressing down upon Constantinople, to besiege that city. Heracleins made a counter attack, and as the Persian monarch had called in the Russian barbarians, so he brought the Turcomans across the Volga to attack Persia. Here were the Russians then, as now, overhanging Constantinople; and here were the Turcomans overhanging Persia. Heracleins brought the Turcomans across the Caucasus, and planted them in Georgia, Armenia, Syria, and Asia Minor, where they re mained from that day up to this. The race were kept in the pay, and supported by the Turks of Constantinople, up to the present day, and in them would be found up to this day, specimens of almost the perfect Tartar, showing what the Turks were in their original state. They certainly had given up the horse-flesh, and the peculiar beverage of their an cestors, and they had professedly embraced the Mahommedan creed, but they were loose Mahommedans, and were held by very slight ties of religion of any kind. The Rev, lec turer here cited several passages from history, and from the statements of recent travellers, to show that the charac teristics of the Turcoman tribe continued the same up to the present day. Now the other branch of the race, the civilized Turks, had been subject to a certain educational process. Nations attained civilization by different means. Some were civilized by commerce, others by conquering, and others again by being conquered. The ancient Greeks were in a great measure civilized, and brought to their won derful state of intellectual culture, not by themselves simply—for it was a great question whether any nation ever civilized itself—but they became what they were by com merce, and by their colonies. Much and rightly as the world might admire the ancient Greeks for their wonderful intellectual proficiency, their colonies outstripped them, that is to say, they began before them. Much more was heard of the arts, science, and philosophy of their colonies in Italy, Magna Grecia, as they were called, and of lonia, that is Asia Minor, with regard to their intellectual greatness, than of Greece proper. These colonies had acted upon and raised her to what she once was. Rome was zed in quite a different way—by conquering. The cans had in them the germs of civilization, but they were and barbarous until they came into contact with the ;eks. England ias civilized in that way, by the Holy and by the Normans—by the joint influences of religion aof chivalry: In fact England was civilized by being nquered. The Normans conquered England, overthrew Le ancient dynasties, took possession of all property, effected great revolution, ruled England with cruelty and with the lost atrocious tyranny, and still it was the decree of Al nighty God that through them England should be civilized. gradually the Normans got mingled with the population, and became 'quite lost in it, but they had mainly helped to playa England in the position aho 210 VT hold. Tiia lloly See - began the work, and did a great 'deal towards it, and by these joint infinences , the materials had been planted of the present civilization of England. Now Turkish civiliza tion, and as it was it was not indeed very great, but it was great enough to hold the race together —had arisen in quite a different way. It had not arisen from conquering, from being conquered, or from colonies and commerce, but by a very curious process, which he could only liken to such an effect as might be produced if they supposed a liquor to undergo a certain manufacturing process by means of which it would pass through some material and come up again, changed with the qualities of the material through which it passed. The Turkish race had, as it were, trickled through, or soaked through, the mass of the Saracenic _popu lation. They disappeared from history for a time, and came out again in a different character, having assumed the quali ties and the properties of the race through which they had passed. The Tartar race passed through Asia at a gallop, travelling upon their horses a hundred miles a day. What civilization could they receive in such a progress ? None. What civilization could the Turkomans receive, who en tered Europe by the north and came to the regions of the Volga ? None whatever. But the Turks did not at once arrive at their destination, nor did it resemble that of the Turcomans. They had to pass through regions where they were lost for centuries, and of which few traces could be found, but still they kept together as a nation, and acquired in their progress a kind of social education. The causes of their civilization might be divided into three. First he might mention the country to which they first arrived. Of course no climate was sufficient in itself to change the charac ter, there must. be other influences, but ascertain influence climate did exercise, as was exercised in this instance by the country where the Turkish race first arrived. A philosopher had remarked that Asia, possessed a peculiarity which ac counted for the existence of her perpetual dynasties, and his theory was a very plausible one. He observed that there were the extremes of cold and the extremes of heat in Asia, and very little of a mean temperature. It contained the the highest mountains in the world, the broadest plains, high table land, great burning deserts, and but very few rivers in comparison to the size of the continent, and very few inland seas. The inhabitant of cold countries were generally more vigorous and energetic than those of hot climates, and as in Asia the two classes of men were brought into juxta-position, the warlike and the weak, the consequence was that perpetual despotisms existed there. But he might put the question regarding the influence of the climate on the Turkish race, upon broader grounds. The temperate climate was the best for the de velopment of body and mind. The prayer of the inspired writer was—" Give me neither riches nor beggary." What was true of the moral state was also true of the intellectual. The extreme of cold prevented germination, and the extreme of heat withered it up. The countries neither too hot nor too cold were those which had boo. bho si uoust In the world for intellect an power. The country to which the Turks first arrived, was precisely that. It was the country which lies between Mount Actia and the sea of Aral, almost to the Indian Oscan, pii.apany district known as Segdiana or Bokhara. This was one of the most beautiful an temperate regions throught the whole of Asia, and in climate somewhat resembled England. The lecturer here cited the opinions of several travellers, of remote as well as modern times, to show that this district possessed the finest climate in Asia. He might mention that the making of paper from rags was due to the city of Samaracand,:the capital of that region, which was said to have received the invention from the merchants of China. The influence of this climate was one cause which led to the civilization of the Turkish race. There was another cause, still more remarkable, not physical but moral. At tho time when the Turks shewed themselves upon the great river entering this region of Sagdiana, and their kindred, who were since called Turcomans, shewed them selves upon the Volga. At that time the false prophet, Mahomet, was just beginning his career. Mahomet began his career with the Saracens in Arabia, and the Saracens after his death came with great vigour against the kingdom of Persia, and in twenty years conquered the whole of it. Persia reached up to the country of Sagdiana. The Saracens came fiercely up in that direction, and the Persian king, the last of his race, fled to the Turks, although they had been up to that time enemies. The Turks welcomed him, and pretended an alliance, but they betrayed and killed him. Here then were two great antagonists, the Turks from the north, and the Saracens from the south, and they , met near this beautiful country. Strange to say, for it seldom happened, the south beat the north—the Saracens beat the Turks back to Sagdiana, and beat them there again. The Turks were not driven out, except perhaps some few of the wild tribes—they remained there, and whether, through the versatility of the Turks, or the skill of the Saracen, they became the willing servants and workmen of the Saracer race. That was a strange fact, as strange as if the Romans conquering Turkey, the wild Turcomans, were •to become their working men and men of business. In this manner they acquired social education, and it was the second instru ment to which their civilization was due. The third in strument was, that in consequence of their being conquered by the Saracens, they embraced the Mabometan faith. Now, the creed of Mahomet was, of course, a false religion, an imposture, a poor imitation of Christianity, but it had taken some great truths from Christianity, and the vital powers of •truth, however distorted, and however corrupted, did, through God's grace, produce a great effect upon the cha- It so hap- let that they as regarded which t DAILY TIMES. . like manner, various nations )ral respon a their p The reverend clamatio• 1 that t From being a fierc d of an amazing ntil. as he woulc turer ti bility et .e Turks a material eth .kht of ist'antinople Mr. Nugent annou TFRR aing a Meeting of the Electors of th unable to the return of Mr. Win.

I dc Int to say too much in laudation of 'Mr. Earle ; but we should do ourselves credit by electing him, because it is more the duty f electors to seek out their c turn him, so as not to put him in the position of soliciting the t were, of representing you, or - going about makinf . , which is so entirely degrading, and which Earle has so entirely repudiated, that I think a good example is set by Mr. Earle's mode of ap proaching us, in placing himself choose to elect him, and is Air service, ii i every waylbecom- ing both the candidate and the electors. (Hear, hear.) lam making those as preliminary remarks, knowing how necessary they are ; knowing, also, you are so fully acquainted with Mr. Earle's merits; but I make them in a preliminary manner, to in troduce the subject of the first resolution. It is customary in a meeting of this kind that a formal resolution should be proposed and seconded, and with these remarks I shall call on Mr. Youd to propose the first resolution. Before Ido so, how ever, I desire to say that Mr. Brown, than whom no one is better acquainted with Mr. Earle's fitness for the (Alice of Town Councillor, has the greatest desire that he should make his way to a place in the Town Council; but unfortunately Mr. Brown cannot be here this evening. I have a note also from Mr. Earle, addressed to myself, to this effect. Mr. Earle says:—" I find there is to be a meeting on Monday evening of the electors of the West Derby Ward who are d tho Town. Conn. sirous of returning me to an engagement which will render it impossible fo me to - attend, even if it were consist t with my 'to do so, but I think I am . .. _ ner most respectful to the electors by abstaining from any interference with their proceedings.' (Applause.) Now, you will understand from that note from Mr. Earle that it is from a feeling of deli cacy due to you, to himself, and to the great ques- tion of representative and municipal duties that he does. not attend here. (Applause.) He then called upon Mr. Youd, an old reformer, who had at all times worked steadily with them, to propose the first resolution. _ _ Mr. PETER YOUD, in proposing the first resolu tion, said he did not conceive they conferred a favour on Mr Earle by asking him to become their representative, but Mr. Earle was conferring a favour on the electors of West Derby. (Cheers.) He hoped they would return him with a good m iority They should feel proud to have such a ;presentative. Pe had great pleasure in moving— " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that in selecting ,embers for the Town Council the utmost importance aould be attached to the choice of men of upright and inde iendent character and ability, not legislators for party and lass interests, but such men as will devote their energieE Ind influence for the benefit of the town." He thought they might depend upon Mr. Earle in every respect. He did not know that Mr. Earle'. opponent, Mr. Clint, had anything to recommend him, except that he had voted for Forbes M'Kenzie and they liked that recommendation let them vote for Mr. Clint. (Laughter and " No.") He had great pleasure in moving the first resolution. Mr. KIRKIIS in seconding the resolution, contras ted the member Who had. been returned for West Derby Ward, Mr. Arthur Henderson, with the gentlemen who had been rejected, Mr. Mather, Mr. Eyre Evans, and Mr. G. H. Lawrence, re. marking that the former was not fit to hold e candle to any one of those gentlemen. Let then send into the council a man . like Mr. Earle They had too long allowed matters like the " Pike' to influence them in rejecting men of the firs. class He hoped this would no longer confirm( and he would remind the meeting it was men lik Mr. Earle, Mr. Currie, and a few others; who use to report the proceedings of the old corporation when they sat with closed doors, and were it nc for them, we should have nothing to do in th matter at all. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Earle was man of independent character, of great ability a man who would neither act for one party c another, and who would as readily denounce a jo perpetrated li ti his fripmfq. AC ha wovaa our yc petrated by his opponents. He trusted h election would be secured. (Hear, hear.) Th was the man they wanted, and hoped the would do their utmost to return him. Mr. A. C. STEWART supported- the . resolution an able speech, in which he referred to the large interests which the town council of Liverpool had to deal with, and pointed out the necessity of having - men of large views, of competent intelli gence, and thorough independence, returned to the council. He knew no man in Liverpool who would more satisfactorily perform the duties of the office than Mr. Earle. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. ' Mr. HUME, Surgeon, proposed the next resolu tion, which was as follows : ."The Burgesses of West Derby ward now assembled, have great satisfaction in expressing their unchanging admiration both of the public and private character of Mr. Earle—his well known general ability, kindness, and tact, local know ledge of men and things, applying with peculiar force at the present time to the improvements of the town which are now so proMinently under consideration. His unwearied devotion to the public service, whether parochial or municipal, his ready and prompt exposure of all attempts at jobbing, qualify bin] for great public usefulness ; whilst his large property in 'West Derby ward peculiarly fit him to be returned to the town council as our representative, and we hereby pledge ourselves to secure his triumphant return." Mr. JOHN BARRY seconded the motion. Mr, Earle was in every respect fully qualified to repre. sent the ward in Council. He had served two ap. prenticeships ; he had gone through a long career of usefulness, and he trusted they would find him as he was certain they would, a very valuable any excellent member of the Council. (Applause.) Mi. Moss, as a member of the vestry who hai had some personal difference with Mr. Earle, saic he never knew a man who gave up personal in terests so,soon when the public interests were a Mr. Earle, standing as he did in th, at stak istrate, emphatically prominent position of a m a gentleman, and a man of superior educat could find time to leave the ease of vate life, and. thought it no degradation to at would I )ort that the manifesto 01 he Emperor of Russia has been received at th( Foreign.

Some of the Ministers, and several of the persons about the person of the Emperor, continue to as sert an opinion that the Eastern question will be settled without bloodshed, and that at the very worst there will be no war between Russia, and France, and England. THE AFRICAN MAILS • The Hope, African screw mail steamer, from ,the west coast of Africa, put in to Portsmouth, on Sat urday evening, having broken down owing to an accident to her air-pumps. She encountered very heavy weather in the Bay of Biscay. Her dates are as follows :—Fernando Po, Sept. 11; Lagos, Sept. 14 ; Accra, Sept. 16; Cape Coast Castle, Sept. 17 ; Monrovio, Sept. 22; Sierra Leone, Sept. 27; Bathurst, Oct. 1; Goree, Oct. 1; Teneriffe Oot. 8 ; Madeira, Oct. 11. By this arrival we have the important in igence of another war having broken out at os , on the sth of August, between King Akatoi, I the Pretender KosAlio, and that wirer some rmishing it was put an end to by Admiral Bruce. )n the 3rd of September, King Akatoi died sud aly, and his son Docemo was placed on the one in his stead the Liberian Government had received a present of arms and military accoutrements from the each Emperor. Matters at Cape Coast Castle were more peace• [e than by last advises—the alarm of an Ashantee rasion being at an end. The cargo of the Hope comprises 8,000 ounces dust, a large quantity of ivory, palm oil, bees' ix, gum, ginger, and other African produce. The ope remains at Spithead awaiting orders. THE LOSS OF THE DALHOUSIE, FURTHER PARTICULARS. The.excitement occasioned at Lloyd's, and throughout the sole of the shipping and mercantile interest, is almost .thout a parallel. The heavy gale, which had prevailed r several days, had prepared the underwriters for some sualties along the coast. The morning preceding that Liich brought tidings of the fate of the Dalhousie furnished telligence that some heavy losses had occurred in the hannel. Quantities of wreck of a teak-built ship, with re hencoops and a number of chests, bales of goods, and ars, had been seen on Wednesday morning, floating some ilea S.E. of the Nab Light. This was reported to Lloyd's ;ent at Portsmouth, by the master of the Byron, and later the day another advice was forwarded by the same agent the effect that a large full-rigged ship had been. observed sink about 19 miles S.S.E. of the Owers Light, but on ;count of the heavy gales and sea no assistance could be ;ndered. It was known that there were several teak-built lips in the Channel, laden with very valuable freights, and aving passengers on board, as a natural consequence, much axiety was evinced to ascertain the character of the loss. Glen the report arrived that the Dalhousie had foundered, pon which and her cargo, insurances to a large amount had een effected but a few days previously, a general gloom revailed. For the satisfaction of all parties concerned, and to allay he public excitement as early as possible, Mr. Allen, the wner of the Dalhousie, instructed Mr. Harrison, the notary f George-yard, Lombard-street. to at once prepare the pro est of the ship's loss, which was compiled from the state ment of the only survivor, Joseph Reed, and appeared in ;ur columns on Saturday. Full and lengthy as the report vas, however, it had little effect in abating the excitement s to the cause of her foundering, although the presumption ;ntertained by Reed, that she must either have sprung a eak, or struck on a rock, was generally concurred in. The conduct of the crew of the schooner against whom Reed makes DO acriotio a change, In bearing away from the crowning sufferers, has excited much indignation, but it is loped that so gross an act of inhumanity as has been repre war•4-dati, .411 +urn ollf Tint fn Imo ovnetlyrorreet. It has been rumoured that there was a greater number Df passengers on board than has been stated, but Messrs. Fry and Davison, the charterers of the ship, state that the number was as has been. published—viz., 10 ; Mr. and Mrs: Underwood and three children, Mrs. Simpson and three children, and Miss Radford. The. fate of Mr. John Underwood and family, has caused considerable regret throughout the Manchaster houses in the city, where he was well known. For many years he was in the house of Messrs. Brittle and Co., of Wood-street, and intended to settle in business in Sidney, taking out with him a large assortment of goods. Messrs Brittle also shipped 180 casks of goods on board, which with those of Mr. Underwood, were, we understand, insured for 10,0001. The unfortunate gentleman was about 45 years of age, and his children were Catherine,l6, Frederick, 14, and Alfred 12. When the ship rolled over he and his wife and children were dragged through the gallery window as described in the statement of Reed, perishing almost immediately afterwards by a sea which swept them off the wreck. Miss Radford was from Essex, an acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Underwood. It was this unfortunate lady who was lashed by Reed to a spar, and afterwards sent adrift, in order that she might have a chance for her life. It has been ascertained that Captain Butterworth only took two of his children out with his wife, and not three, and that, as stated, one of the two left with the pilot at Deal. Three children are left to mourn the loss of their parents. They resided in Manor-terrace, East India-road. Reed, the only survivor, is a young man of 22 years of age, and has been but a short time in Mr. Allan's .service. He bears a very excellent character. The po w or fellow is suffer ing from the effects of the exposure.which He was upwards of ten hours and a-half on the piece of wreck (the-chock, a piece of timber which supported the long boat on deck), and was washed off it at least a dozen times. When dragged on board the Mitchel Grove he was nearly senseless. The Trinity-house authorities have sent out a steamer to lay down a wreck buoy over the spot where the Dalhousie we nt down, she ha vin g sunk right in the track of vessels „—,,..din e• up and down Channel. r ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. —Amongst the members of this institution who have just been elected to the Fellow ship arc the following : viz. : Thomas Howitt, Lancaster, April 20th, 1831; William Hewitt, Preston, April 3rd, 1833 ; Thomas Siddeley, Leigh, Lancashire, December 6th, 1820 INNMm.mmefflroeftmzft,..,....imMe to tl hed the other magistrat his example (head of parochial business nonimous with int (Applause.)

The assassin, who made his escape, wore a baragan dress, and spoke with a Scotch accent. At almost the same time another man was stabbed at Holland -street, Park, by a person unknown ; but also distinguished by a Scotch accent. TRIKE AT WIGAN —Notwithstanding a con lent belief was entertained that so far as the mill hands were concerned, the strike at Wigan would have come to an end yesterday, we regret to say Rich is not the case. The whole of Mr. c helierley'S lands waited on that gentleman yesterday morn- ng, but were informed lie could not open liis mill, )wing to avi o arrangement he had entered into with yther masters, before Friday morning. He, how- 0 (31..n1 4. o•a-ra-,-. - avy Lau. la 0 (1211 , VCR . under certain conditions, and the great majority of the hands accepted his offer, signed the conditions proposed, and received the week's pay.

Three witnesses gave evidence as to his identity, and that he being the last person that left the house, there could be no doubt but that he was one cf the parties that committed the robbery. The jury, to the utter astonishment of the whole court, found him not guilty. The prisoner, on leaving the Court, saw one of the London detectives, (who had come over from Dublin to prove a pre vious conviction against him for picking pockets) he came up to him and said loudly, " Tom, aint I a lucky fellow ?" He afterwards took several of the jurymen (who had so kindly acquitted him) to a public house, gave them drink, and actually paid for a shave that the foreman got. He also gave an account of how the robbery was committed, and how much he got for his share. DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE AT WIGAN.—About twelve o'clock on Sunday night, two Ginger-beer bottles, full of powder, were put through the window of a Cottage, near Ince bar, occupied by a man named Joseph Hetherington, and the gunpowder was then lighted with a fusee, such as is used by Colliers. An explosion was thus caused, and the window was blown into the middle of the road, and the house much shaken. It appears that previous to the colliers' strike, Hetherington, his brother, and two other men, contracted to get a block of coal in one of the pits of the Ince Hall Company, and that as the job will last several months, they have not ceased to work. Hence it is supposed that some collier or colliers on strike have committed this outrage. Five or six persons were sleeping in the house at the time of the explosion, but tho' greatly alarmed, none of them are injured. Some of their pit clothes were buiied. The police in Wigan and the neighbourhood have been increased in number. DIABOLICAL ATTEMFT OF A MAN TO MURDER HIS WlFE.—Yesterday morning, between the hours of six and seven o'clock, a man named Greenway, re siding in Little Park-street, Kennington, London, made a desperate attempt to murder his wife. The neighbours heard loud cries of murder proceeding from the house, and on a policema n the inhabitants getting *0 it Lhey beheld an awful scene, for Greenway's wife was found with her throat dreadfully ent, nnel divers ntheir cuts about both her hands. Greenway, the husband, was also found with his hands and clothes in a bloody con dition. He was at once taken to Kenningtonpolice station, whilst at the same time the female was removed in a cab to Guy's Hospital. At the station he said that his wife had had two men in the house all night, and before he inflicted the injuries on her person that she had told him that she in tended to leave him with his three children, and that was his reason for murdering her. He like wise said that if she died he should feel happy to hang for her on the gallows He further said that it was his intention to have killed her, and if he had succeeded that he should then have cut his own throat. Such is the serious nature of the wounds the female has received, that not the least hope is entertained of her recovery. i3irtb4, OtarriazO, attlx 13tatb4, BIRTHS On the 21st instant, at Polesden, the Lady Mary Farquhar, of a . - daughter. .
