MONDAY : NOVEMBER 24, 1856 , THE DAY'S NEWS Our home news this morning is of an interesting character. Among the principal topics of conver sation is the late barbarous murder of Mr. Little, of the Great Southern and Western Rail%ay. Our Dublin advices inform us that the greatest excite ment still prevails in that city respecting the affair. The canal has been dragged, and a hammer and razor have been found. On applying the former to the skull of the unfortunate deceased, his remains having been disinterred for that purpose, it was found to fit the fractured part and wounds. The parties suspected, or likely to afford a clue to the discovery of the murderer, are still under examina tion. No arrests have yet been made ; but the police are possessed of information which will no doubt give a clue to their discovery. Yesterday considerable consternation was created here by the rumour that the supposed murderer of Mr. Little had been arrested in a hotel in Dale street. Our reporter furnishes us with par ticulars of the arrest ; unfortunately it was not the miscreant which justice, and the blood of an innocent victim, for whose capture and condign punishment both call aloud. It is now proved beyond doubt, that a robbery, amounting to £2OO in silver, and £l5O in gold, was effected by the murderer. One of our Dublin cotemporaries fur nishes the following late particulars respecting this : Suspicion still attaches to some of the employes, for the more the circumstances of the crime are considered, the firmer becomes the conviction that no one but a person well acquainted with the building and the entire locality could have done the deed, which, of course, a mere stranger could not be. The conduct of the police would also lead to the inference that they entertain a similar opinion. - search which . was made in the harbour ceased -day night, after the finding of the razor, has been a ll owe d to flow Th on Thurs and the back to its former position. I t was cons id ere d that the key, to gain which wou l d b e t h e object of a continuance of the s earc h , was not likely to be got in t he i m mense deposit of mud. The possession of it would not on l y be valuable as affording evidence that the other tw o implements were the ones employed by the assassin in the execution of his diabolical purpos e . Respecting the razor, it is now ascertained that the blade was set in a whit..., not a black haf t, and it appears to be such a one as might have been taken out of a dressing case the property of a gentleman. It bears the name of "Reid," the celebrated cutler, as manufacturer. No trace of blood is apparent on the blade or handle; but from its having remained in the water for, it is presumed, some few days, all appearance of blood must, no doubt, have been washed away. It will, however, be subjected to a microscopic examination. The Great Northern Frauds have been clearly traced to Redpath, and his associate Kent. They are, therefore, committed for trial on a charge of forgery, and the former has been made a bankrupt. The total losses which the company has sustained is not known. The circumstance that the large proportion of the stock improperly issued was the "A" stock of the com pany, which carries no dividend until the "B" stock is paid six per cent , renders it more diffi cult to arrive at an exact knowledge of the extent of the frauds committed by the prisoner. In con nection with these frauds there are some very awkward questions which will no doubt be put to the directors at the next half yearly meeting, and Mr. Denison will no doubt feel some difficulty in reconciling the recent occurrences with the boast which he made at the last meeting respecting the valuable and faithful services which were rendered to the company by what he called par excellence " the gentlemen" connected with the railway. It is very distressing to have offences against the laws committed by persons whose distress has driven them into a disregard of meunt and tuum, but it is still more galling to find, as in this case, that the offender was one of the well-paid class of officials, and one who was trusted because of his wealth. The railway tragedy, which took place near Waterford, has been the subject of a coroner's inquest, and from the evidence already adduced it would appear that the cause of the disaster was owing to some negligence on the part of some of the officials. Up to the latest advices no further deaths had occurred, but several parties were still dangerously ill from the effects of the injuries which they received. _ Our Sunday cotemporary, the London Observer, states that a Royal Commission has been issued to enquire into the present arrangements for trans acting the civil and criminal business of the supe rior courts of law at 'Westminster, and into the manner and times of holding the circuits ; and to report to her Majesty whether any and what improvements can be effected therein ; and par ticularly whether the number of the common law judges can be reduced without detriment to the public service. The Commissioners appointed are the Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Lord Wensley dale, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Cresswell, the Right Hon. J. Stuart Wortley, Solicitor-general ; Sir Frederick Thesiger, and Mr. Horatio Wadding ton, Under Secretary of State. With regard to Mr. Wortley,- it was only on Saturday that he had an interview with Lord Palmerston, and accepted the office of Solicitor-General. It is now considered cer tain that Mr. Russell Gurney will be appointed Recorder of London. It is expected that there will be great competition for the office of Common Sergeant, if vacated by Mr. Gurney, and rumour already points to several leading barristers as being very likely to become candidates fot the situation in question. It is now certain that the General Commanding in-Chief, the Duke of Cambridge, has ordered a court of Enquiry to assemble in London, to investi gate the serious charges and accusations made, during the recent war, by General Shirty against General Bateson, and which charge led to the removal of the 'latter officer from his command. The court is to be composed of Sir Colin Campbell, president ; Major-General Lord Paulet, Major- General Lawrenson, Major-General Cameron, and Colonel Norcott. We publish, at some length, the report of an interesting agricultural meeting held at Chester, on Saturday. These with our general police, and other local matters, will be found worthy of perusal. Matters begin to run rather more smoothly on the continent, although the reports as to the real intentions of Russia, are still of a contradictory character, still it is satisfactory to know that the Palmerston Cabinet has made up its mind to permit Russia to depart from the expressed and implied terms of the Paris treaty, and, accord ing to one of the Ministerialist journals, the Go vernment feel no necessity for a new European Congress to settle the Bessarabian frontier and the Isle of Serpents difficulties, inasmuch as it would be absurd to summon a Congress to open up questions already settled by the general Con gress of Paris. Spain is still in an unsettled state. According to Madrid adviceti of the 18th inst. the Absolutists who surround the Queen have lately demanded her consent to a union between her daughter and the young Prince Charles, Infant of Spain, eldest son of the Infant Don Juan, brother of Count de Montemolin. The Queen was ready to assent to the proposal, but the Absolutists went further, and demanded that the Queen should abdicate in favour of her child, and that, during the minority of the new Queen, the Government of Spain be confided to a council of regency, composed of three members, two of them being the husband of Queen Isabella and the Infant Don Juan—that is to say, the father of the future queen and the father of her intended husband. lievcd at their own dwellinz Mr. E. Watts and Mr. T. Kirk We hear that the Governor of Palermo has ordered a strict surveillance to be exercised upon all English and French commercial vessels. From Rome we learn that a Jesuit priest has just quitted Italy for England ; the instructions which he has received from his superiors are to the following effect :—To publicly abjure in London the Roman creed, and embrace the English Protes tant faith. Having thereby gained popularity to lecture upon Italy, to denounce the Romish Church and its priests, but at the same time to affirm the utter impossibility of destroying the temporal power of the Pope ; to contend that Italy can only be saved by monarchy, and that in consequence of the political camplication with the Western Powers in the South of Italy, a change of dynasty will, in all probability, take place at Naples. By St. Petersburg advices of the 20th inst., we are informed that Prince Gortschakoff has issued another diplomatic circular. In this new note the Russian Government assumes a temperate lan guage, and lays particular emphasis on the unifor mity of views which exists between it and the French and Prussian Governments. Prince Gort schakoff declares that his Government is prepared to waive all claims on the Serpents' Island ; but that the more important question of Bolgrad must be discussed by a congress, to whose decision his imperial master will bow. By the Asia, which arrived here last evening, we are in, receipt of advices from New York to the 12th inst. In a political point of view they do not add much to our previous political intelligence. One thing, however, is certain, that Mr. Buchanan will, on the 21st inst , be chosen President Elect of the United States, and, according to some of the New York papers, the majority is not only insignificant, but very improperly achieved. According to the advices in the New York papers, the result of the election was any thing but agreeable to the people of the Union, who were so well divided upon the subject of the canvas. The letter of our New York correspondent, and our summary of news, inserted in oiler columns, contain all that is worthy of notice therein. THE CABINET DIFFICULTIEB.—The Cabinet appears to be in a quandary just now. On Friday another meeting was held, which was fully attended, and ministers, it is said, had a protracted deliberation. It is impossible to say what particular question or questions engross the attention of her Majesty's advisers at these frequent meetings. It is bat reasonable to suppose the state of our foreign relations will come in for a share of their deliberation and discussion. Tt is satisfactory to be able to state that it is a positive fact that the most perfect unanimity prevails with respect to the points of dispute wi•li Russia, consequently, there is no ground to fear any abandonment of the high and firm ground taken up by the Premier awl Lord Clarendon. Ministers, it is said, feel it incumbent upon them to watch, with a keen eye, the " sayings and doings" of the Emperor Napo leon, inasmuch as his present mode of action is calcu lated to stamp great uncertainty upon our alliance with France. The election of Mr. Buchanan as President of the United States, and the probable line of policy he will adopt with regard to slavery and the principles enunciated in the Ostend manifesto, have, it is said, been brought before the attention of the Cabinet. It is rumoured that th e propr i ety o f resum i ng di p l oma ti c relations with the American Government has been con sidered and approved of, and that almost coincident with the election of the new president will be the re-establishment of a new British Embassage at Wash- THE NORTITERN TIMESeum.LIVERPOOL, club gossippers will have it, Baron Langton, took his seat as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas on Saturday, and at once proceeded to discharge his judicial duties with much ease and dignity. With respect to his elevation to the House of Peers, there is a strong objection. The late outcry respecting the Wensleydale peerage, should have taught ministers to be a little more cautious in matters of this kind, besides it is a very difficult thing for one person to discharge the duties of a peer of the realm, and the onerous and never ceasing functions of a chief judge of the land. No doubt, should Sir A. Cockburn be actually gazetted as Baron Langton, ministers will be s everely catechised in both houses of Parliament about the creation ; for, although none deny the new Chief Justice all credit for his brilliant public career, few admit the principle of creating a judge and a peer in the same person, at one and the same time. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.—ThiS important project appears to progress most satisfactorily, and to justify the hope that, ere long, all the beneficial and important results which its founders glaringly pourtray, will be fully realised. As some statements have been put forth respecting the aid which the British Government intend to grant to the undertaking, we believe the following are the main features of the understanding between the Govern ment and the Atlantic Telegraph Company :—Her Majesty's vessels will assist the company as far as pos. sible in correcting soundings, and laying down the electric cable. The government will give a fixed price of £14,000 per annum for the transmission of their messages until a dividend of six per cent, is declared' when this sum will be reduced to £lO,OOO, to be con tinued for 25 years. If, however, the number of govern ment messages sent should be so large that, if charged for at the usual tariff, the amount would exceed these sums, the full price is to be paid to the company. The British Government are to have a right of prior trans mission, unless the United States' government should join in the contract. In that case the messages of the two governments are to be sent off in the orler of their arrival at the station. The tariff for messages, when fixed and approved by the Treasury, is not to be varied during the existence of the contract. CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS.—The public mind is still dissatisfied with the infliction of capital punishments, at least as now carried out. At Manchester, a few evenings ago, a meeting was held, at which a resolution was agreed to which set forth, that capital punishment fails to effect the purpose for which it is inflicted, viz., the prevention of the crime of murder ; that the exist ence of such a law creates anomalies, and inconsistency in the administration of justice; and that justice and sound policy require its immediate repeal. To any one who reflects seriously upon this subject—considers the ultimate effect which legal strangulation has upon the masses who flock to the foot of the gallows to witness the barbarous operation and revolting spectacle —but must admit, that the foregoing premises are difficult to be overturned. One thing is certain, that the present law must either be repealed or very considerably modi fied, ere it can answer the purposes fur which it was intended, or satisfy the influential, the moral, and the well-disposed portion of society. The advocates of capital punishment must cease from grounding their authority to hang a fellow-mortal upon the requirements of the Levitical law—" Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood also be shed." The same law emphati tally declares, " Whoso breaketh the Sabbath, shall surely be stoned to death." If this law is binding at all, it must be so in the case of every crime which it enume rates. Yet, who would be fool-hardy enough to ask the Government of this country to inflict capital punishment for Sunday trading, in the many and varied phrases in which they present themselves to us week after week, and Sunday after Sunday. ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, Robert Wardell, an appren tice on board the ship Mona, fell into the hold of that vessel, and received a serious wound on the head. He lies at present in the Northern Hospital, but with hopes of his recovery. ST.

FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday, a man named Robert Simon, who resided at 89, Park-street, Park, died in the Northern Hospital, in consequence of injuries received, on Tuesday, at the Tiuskinson Duck, where a piece of timber fell on and caused a compound fracture of the thigh. An inquest will be held on the body to-day. HOUSE ROBEERY.—On Saturday night the house of Thomas Clegg, Esq., a highly respectable gentleman, con nected with the press of this town, residing at Wellington road, was broken into by a ruffian named Lawrence Cleary, whe abstracted a large quantity of wearing apparel and other property. The fellow has been captured, and will be brought up to-day. M.

John Mills, author of the British Jews, &c., highly instructive and edifying, illustrated by maps, diagrams , costume s, &c. Additional interest w as felt, from the fact of the lecturer stating what he saw and experienced, on a missionary visit, last year, to the Oriental Jews. His travels through Egypt, Palestine, &c., were narrated, showing, the moral, physical, and political condi tion of the people, and the important inducements to emigrate and colonise tilos , countries. ARREST IN LIVERPOOL OF A. DECAMPING CLERK.-013 Saturday evening, Detective officer Sullivan arrested a.per_ son named James Kelsey, on a charge of having absconded from Wellingborough, and taken from his employer, whose name is stated as Mr. Dunmore, a considerable sum of money and property. The officer baying received informa tion of the plunder, and a description of the person, saw him in Park lane on Saturday night. Ho followed and arrested him in an American ship, in which he had paid his passage to that country. The prisoner admitted that he was the person sought for, and that he was guilty of the offence. He was sent, last night, with the officer to Wellingborough. CortoNsits' ImauzsTs.—On Saturday the Coroner held the following inquests. On the body of Lawrence Welch, a labourer, 31 years of age. The deceased was engaged in loading sugar on board the ship Prince of Wales, when by some accident he lost his balance and fell, and a cask of sugar two cwt. crushed his head, and he died almost imme• diately. There was no blame attached to any one. Verdict accidental death. On the body of a childnamed Catherine Davies two and a-half years old.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL, LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING, The timely arrivals of such large quantities of gold from Australia and other quarters, has imparted increased confidence in commercial circles. Cotton, although amply supplied, keeps steady in price, but the transactions going forward are of a limited character to-day ; the sales were reported at '4,000 bales, of which speculators and exporters took '5OO. The market left off with a steady feeling. _ln the circular of Messrs. Wright, Junr., & Co., issued on Saturday for the sailing of the Arabia, we find the following remarks : Some holders, displaying weakness, offering freely, and being anxious to realise, have caused irregularity in rates, particularly in qualities low middling downwards, the influence on other classifications also attaching, though in a less marked degree. Middling Orleans are with difficulty sold at 7d, and equally difficult to obtain below that figure in any quantity. That such a feature should be manifested under the more favourable aspect of Conti nental monetary affairs and indications of improvement in the same direction in London, and with no more promis ing accounts from America in reference to additional supplies, can only be attributed to the desire of avoiding the expense present discount rates entail on maturing engagements, - and which may actuate others towards a like course. The timely arrival, yesterday and to-day, of large amounts of Australian gold is, however, calculated to arrest this feeling, and impart more hopeful antici pations, although their effect is not yet fully developed. The Liverpool Railway Share Market opened with an -improved feeling on Saturday, but went rather easier, improving afterwards, and closing strong at its best point. The dealings were chiefly in Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Midland Stocks, also in Dovers, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shares. We report the following sales : Chester and Birkenhead 221 shares. Caledonian, 281, 8, Eastern Counties, 94 Great Western, 67±. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 949, 5,4, -1 7 .

There is rather less enquiry for discount accommodation, and encouraged by this circumstance, the improved return of the Bank of England, and the confident tone of the Paris advices, many are of opinion that an early relief will be experienced in monetary affairs, whilst other parties assert that, taking a comprehensive view of all the causes which are likely to exercise an influ ence, there is no just cause for anticipating a diminution in the official terms until the beginning of the year. Viewing the matter in all its bearings, and taking into account the extent of our future specie shipments to the Continent, we may safely calculate that the worst appears to have passed over, but pressure may recur, and it is by no means desirable that an improvement, whenever it really commences, should be sudden, because, in such case, the depression recently experienced might only produce a degree of inflation which would scarcely be less unfavourable. The extreme caution latterly adopted must be continued, and if joint stock enterprise is stimulated, the public will do well to encourage those projects which will develop the resources of their own country rather than patronise specious foreign undertakings, which, after all, cannot be expected, even if the concessions are duly observed, to yield more than a moderate return for the risk incurred. Although the Money Market is still tight, and some time may elapse before any desirable relaxation is felt, it is not too early to warn the public on these subjects, because it is well known that several projects which would have the effect of withdrawing capital from this country are already formed, the promoters of which are only awaiting an eligible opportunity to intro duce them to the English market. Of the Gold brought by the Lightning, 70,0001 has found its way to the Bank of England. The imports of specie during the past week have been large, amounting to about 1,650,0001. This comprises 314,000 ounces of gold, per James Baines and Lightning, from Australia ; 152,0001 from the United States ; 156,0001 from Mexico ; and 9,600 in silver from the Continent. The exports of specie this week were by the Orinoco for the West Indies, 4,500/ ; the Colombo for Alexandria and the East Indies with 599,690/, of which 26,975/ was in gold, and the rest silver, divided as follows :—Gold to Alexandria, 15,6001; • Ceylon, 4,5001; and Madras, 6,8751. Silver to Bombay, 430,800/ ; Madras, 14,0101; and Calcutta, 127,9051. Making a total of about 604,1901. The Returns of the Bank of England Gaze!ted on Friday night, has operated favourably upon the market for Public Securities. On Saturday the investments were trifling, but better prices' were paid. Consols advanced to 931 94 for money, 94 to 94 for account, and 946 for January. The New 3 per Cents. were marked 92L 93, and 931, the Reduced 921, L 4 f and the 30 Years' Annuity 171. Exchequer Bills were held at 2s. prem., being a slight enhancement, and the Bonds 981. Bank Stock was steady at 217.

The Foreign an 1 Colonial Lines, although not active, are well sup ported. Great Central of France are 34, 31 prem. Great Western of Canada, 247„ 244; and Grand Trunk of Canada, 101, 11. During the course of the past week there has been a languid trade going in most of the manu facturing districts. Our Manchester reports state, that in that market, the decline so far, has not been very marked, particularly in such yarns as go to India or up the Mediterranean ; Whilst in those woven into shirting, printers, Madapollams and common :lacconets, not more than id. per lb. The fall in goods is represented at Id. to 3d. per cutt. The market begins to be again more cheerful. The Woollen trade of Leeds had been very listless. Few buyers have been at market, and at present there is not more than half the business doing that there was a month ago. There is not any new feature to notice in the Nottingham Lace trade, which continues quiet. Considerable activity is experienced in the Hosiery trade, from the anxiety to despatch American orders with a view to the preparation for the Spring trade. The Halifax Worsted trade is still in an unsatisfactory state, although there is increasing firmness in the raw material. The market for both English and foreign Wools con tinues steady, but clothing descriptions are dull of sale, although unaltered in price. The average price of bro wn or M uscovado Sugar, the produce of the British pOssessions in America, for the week ending November 18, is 355. 441. per cwt. exclusive of duty. The average price of brown or Muscovado Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, for the wee k ending as abort)) is 355. 34d. The. average price of brown or Musco vado Sugar the produce of the East Indies for the week ending as above is 355. 10d. The average price of the three foregoing descriptions of Sugar jointly, for the • week ending as above, is 355. 61d. per cwt., exclusive of duty. We take from the Mining Journal of Saturday, the following :—There seems to a very general impression amongst those best informed as regards financial matters, that the pressure for money will soon abate, and that we shall very soon have abundance in the market. Indeed, symptoms of it have already manifested themselves. We may look, therefore, not only for a great increase in general business, but a large amount of public attention to paying and progressive mines. The discoveries made within the last week or ten days in one or two minesin that district, the richest in the world—Gwen nap—have caused many enquiries to be made for shares, whilst the determination, now being carried out in many cases, of winding up several companies which have been a heavy drag upon the shareholders, will put a stop to heavy and repeated calls, and enable them to breathe more freely and look after dividend mines. The Share Market since our last has been well supported, though the business transacted has been, perhaps, rather confined to a few favourite speculations. The arrangements in regard to the estate of Fox, Henderson, and Co. have been assented to by the great body of creditors, nearly all of whom have signed. The winding up will, therefore, be pro ceeded with without difficulty, and with but little delay. The works are going on as usual, and no more of the hands have been discharged. The Cunard steamer Asia arrived here yesterday evening, bringing, in addition to the usual mails, specie on freight valued at over £73,073 sterling. At New York the demand for money was active, and the high rates of discount fully sustained. Good commercial paper was freely sellimg, at 12 per cent., and call loans difficult to obtain at a lower rate. The position of the banks having further improved, they will soon be able to grant the usual facilities to their customers, and the heavy supply of paper in the street would likely fall off after the arrival of the California mail, about due. The Courier and Enquirer of the last dates says:— Foreign exchanges are heavy, and rates declining, except for drafts on Paris, for which the demand is quite active at 5.181 for bankers' signatures. Sterling bills are very dull, and a large amount is ()Tiring at from 108 to 109 per cent. The leading drawers ask 109 i, but nothing of impo, tance was done above 109. Bills on Dutch and German cities are also lower ; Antwerp, on account of the limited supply, is better sustained. We quote Bankers' Drafts. sixty days' sight, on London 109 to 1091 ; Paris 5.181 to 5 171 ; Antwerp, 5.161 to 5 15 ; Amsterdam 411 to 411; Hamburg 36a to 36 2 - 8 ; Bremen, 791 ; Frankfort, 411 ; Berlin, Leipzic, and Cologne, 73 to 73. At a late hour this afternoon about 400,000 dols. specie were engaged for shipment per Asia, and to judge from the dull sale of foreign exchanges, this amount is not likely to be increased. The quotations for foreign exchanges at New Orleans by the latest mail, are, for Sterling (clear bills), 81 to 94 ; France, 5,281 to 5,25. Respecting the Cotton crop, we learn that the Baltic's advices had caused a decline of fully lc. The sales for the three days ending November 11, amounted to 5,500 bales. Owing to the heavy receipts at southern ports, and the continuance of fine weather for securing the crop, the low estimate of 2,600,000 to 2,800,000, which prevailed thirty days since, were generally abandoned, and 2,300,000 to 3,000,000 generally adopted. Some few at New Orleans and Mobile incline to higher figures than 3,000,000, giving as their reasons for their change of opinion, the " long continuance of fine weather, and the general good quality and staple of the crop so far received." According to the New York Shipping List of the 12th inst. the receipts since the Ist Sept. were 560,890 bales, showing a decrease of 16,925. The exports to Great Britain since Ist Sept. were 65,665, being a decrease on last year of 149,696. and the stock on hand in and on shipboard was 62,390, against 79,239 at same date last year. Breadstuffs and cured provisions do not manifest .any important alteration; other articles will be found fully reported in another column. THE DUBLIN MURDER ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER IN LIVERPOOL. EXTRAORDINARY DELITSION.—The frightful murder which took place in Dublin a few days ago, and which has created so much public excitement, has caused the police, in all parts of the United Kingdom, to be on the alert, for any clue that might lead to the arrest of the perpetrator of this diabolical crime, and on Saturday night some of onr vigilant detectives, for a short time, imagined that they had not only got a clue, but that they had succeeded in getting the individual who actually committed the horrid deed. The facts are these :—A day or two since, a person arrived from Ireland, and took up his residence.at an hotel in Dale-street. He had no luggage, but seemed to be pretty flush in money. His conduct was strange, so much so, that he attracted the attention of the people belonging to the hotel, and an eye was kept on his movements. He lived freely, and drank copiously. His manner and conversation were extremely strange, when compared with other parties, and strong suspicions were entertained that all was not right. Th:s opinion was fortified by the fact that he called the " boots" of the house, and gave him a sum of over £6O, telling him to take care of it for him. Still a watch was kept on him, and whatever suspicions were attached to him were much strengthened by some expres sions which he used. After some muttei ing to himself, he started up and shouted out in a wild manner, " I did not kill him, I did not kill hint ; I only gave him two blows of a hammer in the hack of the head. I did not cut his throat." lie repeated these expressions several times, with frantic energy. This caused a communica tion to be made to the police, and some of the intelligent officers were at once despatched to the hotel. The man was interrogated, and he persisted in saying that he did not murder Mr. Little, that be only struck him two blows on the back of the head with a hammer, but did not cut his throat, and that he had been hunted from Athlone by the police, but that he had• managed to escape them. One of the officers, after putting some questions to the man, suspected that he was labouring under delirium tremens, and this turned out to be correct. It did appear that the man—we forbear giving his name—bad come from Athlone, and that for several days before he left, he was under the influence of the disease alluded to, and that he left home in that state. He had been reading in the newspapers the details of the frightful murder, and his imaginatien got excited to such a degree that he fancied he was the actual murderer. The real facts having been ascertained in a satisfactory manner, the unfortunate man was properly attended to, and will be restored to his friends. Not the least curious portion of the ease remains to be told. The " boots," who had the £6O, when he found the police had, as he supposed, arrested a murderer, absconded with the money, no doubt, thinking it was " all right," and like other great men, he might make a " haul," but the police on hearing of affair, soon " hauled him " up, and got all the money on his person. We under stand he will not be prosecuted. So ends this strange eventful history. REDUCTION OF THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.—About 200 of the C ddstream Guards in garrison at Windsor, have just been selected to be discharged under an order of the Horse Guards, these men being under the standard for the Guards—namely, five feet eight inches. When the reduction is completed the complement of the battalion will be 850 rank and file. REPRESENTATION OF FlNSEURY.—Considerable &sena sion is now going on in the borough of Finsbury as to the candidates to be proposed in the event of an e'ection taking place, and several meetings have been held in reference thereto. The friends of Mr. William Cox, an attorney in the City, a vestryman of Islington, and a common council man of the City for Broad street ward, are getting up a requisition calling upon him to offer himself as a candid ate ; it being understood that he is desirous of doing so should he receive sufficient encouragement, and arrangements are being made for holding a public meeting on the subject. A CUSTOMS GRIEVANCE.—The Customs, in their extreme eagerness to swell the revenue returns, are adopting a sy stem which operates most injuriously to several c l asse s o f trades men, but esprcia ly to the grocers, Out of any parcel of goods on which duty is paid , they exercise great ingenuity in taking the lightest package they can find and setting that down as an average. The consequence, of course, is that the trader has t o pay duty upon a great deal more weight than he ought to do. In teas, for instance, the customs weigh one chest in every ten for an average of the tare, and by picking out a thin light chest they overcharge the con signee sometimes to the extent of 1 8 or 20 lbs in every ten chests; and as the duty amounts to is 9d per lb, the matter becomes exceedingly serious. Messrs. Ross and Joseland, of this city, having been considerable sufferers by this sort of sharp practice, not only wrote to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but forwarded to him, carriage paid, a tea chest on which 1.5 lbs tare only had been allowed by the customs, but which, as the right honourable gentleman might see by means of any pair of scales, really weighed 17' lbs. They are advised of the safe arrival of the Chest . by a letter from " Alexander Duff Gordon," who, on behalf of the Chancellor, politely acknowledges that "an empty Sou chong half chest arrived this morning by rail."— Worcester Chronicle. --~,. ~_------ FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, FRANCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING There is no news of importance stirring today' The Belgian and German papers bring us new, versions about the everlasting Bolgrad and Isle ° I Serpents questions, but they are not wor th repeating. These questions remain in the ear" state as they have been in for the last few days. Neither is there anything new from Naples , except it be that King Bornba causes a strict surveillance to be exercised over French ari d English commercial vessels trading with h i° country, especially those which go to Sicily, i ll order to see that they do not import arms an d ammunition, and, what he fears even more, Pro clamations and addresses to the people. There has been a reaction on the Bourse today' The Threes have fallen 45c., and railway share s from 71. to 30f. The Customs' returns, published to-days eh ° that the import duties for the first ten months of the present year amounted to 140,042,6831, and that in the same period of last year they were 164,326,548 E, and of 1854 120,826,920 f. For the month of October of the three years they were re spectively 16,220,677 f., 13,187,273 f. , and 13,649, 033 f Notwithstanding the decline in the receipts of the first ten months of this year, compared with those . of last, there is an increase in the quantity 01 cotton, iron, cast iron, including other importal articles. Cotton figures this year for 730,9 % metrical quintals, whilst last year it was 684,3 ' metrical quintals. The export returns for the tea months of each of the three years do not show ariy marked progress, and in the shipping of the French ports, it appears that that of fo reig", countries increases more rapidly than that °1 Fotnce. The telegraph will have informed you of the i s. ' publican outbreak at Malaga, and of its suppree sl°l : with a loss of five insurgents killed and se"; soldiers wounded.
