ELEGANT'PERSONAL REQUideril,g. UN TH PATRON AG OF ROYALTY AND THE A OCR T UT EUROPE, AND VERR E E t D & ESTEEMED. ccess ul results o e last Half Century " 4 - have proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACAS SAR OIL possesses singularly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has failed. This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair—produces a thick and luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff— and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of bald n e ss is peculiarly active; and in the growth o f Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recom mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine-comb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcen dant lustre. A small Pamphlet accompanies each Bottle of ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, wherein important hints and advice will be form(' on the Culture of the Hair of Infancy and on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of human life.—Price 3s. 6d. and is. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s. CAUTION ! On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words, RowLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, in two lines. The same are engraven on the back of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters. BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION.—ROWLANDS' KALYDOR, an Oriental Botanical Preparation, possessing balsamic pro perties of surprising energy. It eradicates - Tan, Freckles, Pim9les. Spots, Redness, and other Cutaneous Visitations ; transforms the most Sallow Complexion into one of a healthy and juvenile bloom ; and imparts a delicacy and softness to the Neck, Hands, and Arms. Perseverance in its application pro motes a free and uninterrupted exercise of those important functions of the Skin so essential to the preservation of health, and the attainment and continuance of a Beautiful Complexion. During the heat and dust of Summer, and in cases of sunburn, stings of insects, or incidental inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged.—Price 4s. 6th and Ss.6d. per bottle. CAUTION.—The words ROWLANDS'KALYDO a are on the wrapper of each bottle, and their signature, A. Row- LAND & SONS, 20, Hatton-garden, London, in red ink, at foot. THE TEETH AND HEALTH.—A good set of Teeth ever insures favourable impressions, while their preservation is of the utmost importance to every individual, both as regards the general health by the proper mastication of food, and the con sequent possession of pure and sweet breath. Among the various preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing, purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Prepared from Oriental Herbs with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, and impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the .gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath.

A New and Curious Invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. Howard; it is the introduction of an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH ; fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve the teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should avail themselves of this New discovery MR.

THE past week has not been very fruitful of ex citing erents—the interest chiefly attaching to the proceedings in Parliament, which have exhibited a rather ominous catalogue of Ministerial defeats. Mrs. BEECHER STOWE has received her ovation at the Dingle, and taken her departure to undergo the same ceremony at Glasgow, preparatory to her reception at the May meetings in the Metropolis. The damage to the screw -steamer Osmanli—to repair which her commander very prudently re turned to Liverpool —was found, as was anticipated, to be of the most trifling description, in no way impairing her efficiency as a good sea-boat; and on Saturday she again started, with additional mails, for Australia. The report presented by the medical officer, at the weekly meeting of the Health Committee, showed a considerable diminution in the mortality of the town, not only from the preceding week, but also from the average of the five preceding This was attributed to the increase of the temperature. years. The arrival of the iron screw steamer Faith, from Africa, within a few hours of the time at which she was due, affords a gratifying proof of the superiority of Birkenhead ship-building, notwithstanding the more vaunted claims of the Clyde. The several failures of the Australian steam-boats had thrown somewhat of a cloud over the iron screw steamers for long voyages ; but Mr. LAIRD'S ship, the Faith, shows what may be done on the Mersey, even if the Clyde builders are at fault. In our notice last week of the trial trip of the Hope, the sister ship of the Faith, and both belonging to the African Steam Navigation Company, we omitted to state that all her appointments are of first-rate description. Her anchors and cables are WOOD'S patent, which obtained the first prize at the Admiralty trial ; her sails are by LAPTHORN, of Gosport, said to be the best maker of fore and aft sails; and her compasses are by GRAY and KEEN, of this town, whose reputation is world wide. The Hope left the river on Wednesday, for London, in order to commence her regular voyages to Africa. On Saturday next the Charity, a third vessel on this line, will be launched from Mr. LAIRD'S yard; so that Birkenhead may fairly challenge rivalry with the world for sending out an iron screw steamer. Several interesting subjects were brought before the adjourned meeting of the Town Council on Wednesday. Some complaints were made of architectural defects in St. George's Hall, arising chiefly from the inequalities of the site, and the Council were, for the time, a Committee of Taste ; but the subject was subsequently referred to the St. George's Hall Committee. A gratifying report was made of the increased attendance at the Free Library, and the subject gave rise to a discussion on the Museum-rate, which, it was stated, would not exceed a halfpenny in the pound. The MAYOR referred, in graceful terms of congratulation, to the recent addition to the Royal Family, and the business concluded with some expressions of in dignation at the insult offered to the Council in the recent appointment of Magistrates. At the meeting of the Dock Committee on Thursday, the resignation of a clerk, because he had not received an increase of salary, led to some personal observations from Mr. LANGS DALE, wh o accused his colleagues of favouritism. Such a' charge would have come with more grace had it been made when the alleged applications for an advance of salary were refuted ; but at the present time it was offensive, and by no means justified by the circumstances. There was some exciting scandal during the week owing to a rumour that two of our local legislators had resorted to a kind of speculation not recognised on 'Change by which a victim was mulct to the extent of £7,000. The fact has not been denied, but the enormity has been in some degree mitigated by.the winners in this great game having consented to accept the reduced sum of £3,000 ; at least such is the report. THE STATE AND EDUCATION.—The Educa tional Estimates for the current year have been opportunely published in illustration of the recent debates and the still pending legislation. When we say that £598,493 forms the total sum assigned to these national purposes from the public purse, we shall suggest, we dare say, some invidious com parisons, and induce foreign countries to wonder how Englishmen are educated at all. As Lord JOHN RUSSELL, on behalf of the Government, repudiated the " voluntary system," and maintained the positive obligation in this respect of the State towards its citizens, and as the contributions of the State amount, nevertheless, to but half a million of money, strangers may well be perplexed to dis cover the funds for instructing a population of 26,000,000. Times. THE SUCCESSOR OF DANIEL O'CONNELL.— The Times of Tuesday last had a clever article on the lamentable exhibition of perpetual folly pre sented by that poor fanatic, the editor of the Tablet. "Mr. LucAs," says the Thunderer, "is literally a day after the fair. The people are all on the move, and while he is performing his antics, his platform stands alone in the field, and the spectators, wearied with his tricks and his ribaldry, are scattered to a thousand homes. No ! The sceptre of O'CONNELL is buried with him, and no puny whipster can re sume it. His throne is broken. His realm itself is no more. The millions that sprung up at his bidding have other thoughts in their heads. They are sickened of sedition, and are off to other lands, where they will be happier than in Ireland, if only because they are no longer at the mercy of selfish agitators." FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE.—The will of Napoleon I. has been brought from London to Paris by M. Charles Baudin, Secretary of the French Legation in London. The Emperor has decreed that this will should be deposited in the national archives. The Moniteur publishes a circular from the Minister of Police on the subject of glee clubs and harmonic unions. Coffee-houses are not to be opened for that purpose without an ;express license from the Prefecture, and such licenses, when granted, may at all times be sus pended. Four-and-twenty hours before each concert the programme is to be submitted to the police, and published by being fixed in a conspicuous place in the establish ment. No songs are to be sung that are obnoxious to order or morality. The Municipal Councils of several towns have been dissolved by the government. The determination of the authorities is, that no officer of any grade shall be tole rated who is not known to be a thorough partizan of the Emperor. The Minister of Marine has decided that all sailors from 20 to 40 years of age, who have not y e t serve d i n th e imperial navy, shall be liable to serve in that force. It is thought that these men will replace those sailors who have been, or who are shortly to be discharged. More political arrests have been made, but no person of note is mentioned as having been arrested. The per sons in custody are chiefly workmen and small tradesmen, who are supposed to have belonged to a secret society. A tradesman (a notorious Socialist) has been taken into custody, and in his house were found papers proving that he was one of the channels through which the democratic committee of refugees in London communicates with its partisans in Paris. ITALY.—Letters from Milan of the Bth state, that, although there seemed no prospect of the early departure of the British fleet, the sails were all bent, and everything was prepared for going to sea at an hour's notice. The Admiral was waiting for further despatches. A submarine electric telegraph is to be constructed from Spezia to the island of Sardinia, and thence on to Malta. No doubt is entertained that this must eventually be the high road to the British possessions in India. The line of telegraph projected by Mr. Brett will bear the name of the Mediterranean and Indian Electric Telegraph. SPAIN.--The debates in the Senate on the railway question having become extremely violent, the Govern. ment have thought it right to prorogue the session of the Cortes. On the night of the Bth the ministers resigned in a body. The Queen asked for 24 hours to decide whether or no she would accept their resign a tion. B e f or e the expiration of that time, the Queen had accepted the resignation of the cabinet. General Lersundi has been charged With the duty of forming a new cabinet. The Cortes has resumed its session. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, date 15th instant, says :—The Cabinet is formed. The following are its members :—War—General Lersundi, who is also Presi dent of the Cabinet. Foreign Affairs, M. Aylon, Jirstice (provisionally) M. Collantes. Home-office—M. Egana. Finance—M.Bermudez de Castro. Marine—M. Antonio Doval. Accounts from Madrid of the 10th say the Queen has definitively accepted the resignation of the Minister of Justice. The other ministers keep their places provi sionally. All public officers in the Senate who on the Narvez question voted against the Senate have been suspended. HOLLAND.—The official organ at the Hague makes an important declaration in reference to the establishment of the Romish hierarchy in Holland. It states that the Dutch Government was not consulted in the matter ; and that, having declared some time ago, in answer to a question from the Roman Court, that the fundamental law concedes to everybody the right to confess their creed, and to organise their internal church affairs as they think fit, the Government had not thought fit to interfere, and did not interfere is the recent measure. RUSSIA.—The Trieste Gazette states that according to advices of the 25th of March from Odessa warlike pre parations are carried on with great zeal, so that all may be in readiness to start towards the end of April. The preparations were hardly on such a grand scale in 1812 ; they extend even to Great Russia, and eight steamers are employed on the WOlca in conveying troops to Kertsch. Even old soldiers, who have served twenty and twenty five years, are again called under arms. TURKEY.—A telegraphic despatch from Constanti nople to the 2d of April states that Prince Mentschikoff had made the following demands on behalf of the Russian Government :-Ist. Respecting the holy places, be re quires the repeal of the concessions in favour of the Roman Catholics made to M. Lavalette ; but he consented to modify his pretensions in such a manner that nothing should be decided without the assent of Russia. 2d. The conclusion of an offensive and defensive treaty according to Russia the right to enter the Dardanelles for the de fence of her ally. 3d. The abandonment of certain tracts of territory in Georgia. 4th. The Suzerainty of Monte negro, whose independence would be recognised by the Porte. sth. The independence of the Oriental Christians in all matters relating to their creed. 6th. The eventual military occupation of the Danubian provinces for the purpose of repressing the revolutionary spirit. An ami cable arrangement of the difficulties was still hoped for, although Russia continued her warlike preparations at Odessa and Sebastopol. No decision was anticipated before the arrival of the English and French ambassadors. M. de la Cour arrived at Constantinople on the Gth instant. Lord Stratford de Recicliffe had reached that city on the 4th. On the sth he assembled the English residents at Constantinople, he assured them of the main. tenance of peace, and advised them to carry on their com mercial operations with the utmost confidence. _...—. The French squadron remained st a ti onar y at Salamis, and the British fleet was still at Malta. PERSTA.—According to a letter from Teheran, of the 26th February, a grave misunderstanding has arisen be tween the Persian Court and the British Legation, relative to Herat, and a rupture was feared. " What is certain," says the letter, " is that Colonel Shiel, who was about to quit Teheran in a few days, on leave of absence, expected to take with him all the personnel of his legation." AFRICA.—The African Steam Navigation Company's screw-streamer Faith, commander James Parsons, arrived at Plymouth at 4 o'clock on Wednesday morninz, being within a few hours of the time she was due. The African Steam Navigation Company's mail steamer European left Sierra Leone on the 19th of March, at 6 p.m., bound to the lee ward, and the Forerunner left Teneriffe on the 3d of April, at 2 a.m., for the coast. The screw steam-ship Antelope was at Funchal, Madeira, oh the sth of April; her ma chinery had been repaired, and when the Faith left her steam was up to proceed on her voyage to Australia. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA, By the British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Asia, Capt. Lott, which arrived here on Sunday morning, we have advices from New York to the 6th inst.

Luce, which sailed from this port on the 23rd ult., arrived at New York at 4.30, p.m., on the sth inst. The screw-steamer Andes, Capt. Hutchins, from this port, arrived at Boston, at 7, a.m., on the 6th inst. Mrs. Fillmore, wife of the ex-President, died of disease of the lungs, at Washington, on the 30th ult. Mrs. Cass, wife of General Cass, is also dead. The President, General Pierce, was still busied with the nominations. In the United States Senate, on the 4th inst., the Secretary of the Treasury was requested to furnish the Senate, at the commencement of the next session, with a statement, showing the entire amount of United States stocks and bonds, of all kinds, held abroad. It was said that the account current of the United States for the last fiscal year with foreign countries will stand thus :--Excess of imports over the exports of the country, forty millions ; interest annually, payable to foreigners on the stocks, &c., held by them, eighteen millions; expenditure of travel. lers. five millions; navy, war, and diplomacy, three millions ; instalment to Mexico, three millions ; remit tances to Ireland, five millions : making a total of seventy four millions of dollars. From this deduct the probable amount of gold and silver brought into the country by emigrants, ten millions : leaving the sum of sixty-four millions as the balance against the United States, towards the settlement of which we have official record of the exportation above the importation of thirty-seven millions of gold and silver; and the balance of twenty-seven millions has, no doubt, been liquidated by the remittance of federal, state, and other stocks. The rumoured recal of the Japan expedition is far from giving satisfaction to the democrats. The British barque Josephine from London had arrived in the Columbia river, with merchandise for the Hudson Bay Company. 7,500 seamen, in charge of 175 vessels, had sailed from Newfoundland for the seal fisheries. Seven hundred bushels, or about one million of dead letters had been destroyed at Washington, in accordance with the usage of the post-office department. They were carted to Monument-square, and spread over a line of two or three hundred feet, when the match was applied. The United States steam-frigate Saranac got ashore at Warsaw Sound, on the 4th inst., on her passage from Ha vana to Savannah, and remained in a dangerous position. A large fire had occurred at Charleston, destroying property of the value of $40,000. On the 2d there was a rain storm before day dawn in Cincinnati, and when daylight came the pavements throughout the entire city were found to be strewn with a yellow substance resem bling sublimate of sulphur. Several scientific gentlemen examined it, and pronounced it to be the pollen of flowers which, they suppose, must have been gathered up in large quantities in the far South, and borne northward by the wind. Many earth worms were also found on the pave ments. Chesterfield gaol, South Carolina, was accidently destroyed by fire on the 30th ult., and eight of the prisoners perished in the flames. Late advices from Nassau state that the ship Osborne, of Kennebunk, from Liverpool for New Orleans, with 240 emigrants, struck on Grand Bahama on the 17th ult., and was a total wreck. The crew and passengers were all saved, and had arrived at Nassau. Nearly all the baggage and cargo was also saved. CANADA.—Quebec accounts of the 2nd instant, state that the Inspector-General had given notice of a motion for the reduction of duties on refined sugar to 10s. instead of 145., and on other sugars to 6s. instead of 9s. per cwt. ; molasses 2s. instead of 3s. ; salt Id. per bushel. The duty on wines hereafter to be uniform, at 6d. per gallon and 30 per cent. Caoutchonc, raw materials for shipbuilding, and all seeds, to be admitted at 21 per cent. lie also pro poses to allow goods going upwards through the St. Law rence Canal, to pass the Welland Canal free, and to allow goods downward, passing the Welland Canal, to go through the St. Lawrence free. The house had not yet voted, but approved of the plan. BRITISH GUlANA.—Advises are to the 15th ult. The Combined Court was engaged, upon the 4th of March, with the question of immigration, which after debate, was settled in the following terms—that there should be a yearly importation of at least 4,000 immigrants, estimated to cost $242,000, one-half of which is to be borne by general taxation, and the other half by direct taxation, (in the shape of produce tax and contract duties) on the planters. CUBA. — Advices from Havana are to the 29th ult. About 3,000 negroes had been landed on the north side of Cuba since the 12th of February, notwithstanding the quickened vigilance of the authorities, and the constant observation of the British cruisers. A cargo of 1,200 at or near Camarioca, the first—and vessel put ashore ; a Portuguese also stranded near the Cugo Verde with 650, of which only 194 were saved by the owners, the rest picked up and concealed from knowledge of the shippers by various crafts in the vicinity ; and it is said a large part of them had been brought to Havana, and the names are mentioned of those who participate in the second-hand plunder ; the last, of 1,200, vessel burned at Stove Key, off Cardenas, and th e negroes taken across the land from Cardenas to the Esperanza Estate, near Camarioca. CENTRAL AMERlCA.—Accounts of a fresh dispute have been received from San Juan de Nicaragua. In June, 1851, before the organisation of the late Municipal Go vernment of San Juan, the Transit Company, then FOREIGN MISCELLANY. MONTE VIDEO.—The consular fees payable on vessels trading from the United Kingdom to Monte Video are about to be assimilated in the British outports to the standard prevailing in London, where the scale is con siderably lower than the rate in Liverpool or elsewhere.

This is the only instance recorded in this country of one so young being afflicted in this form..—New York Herald. DANGEROUS EXPERIMENTS.—A letter from Munich, dated the 10th inst., says :—Professor de Liebig was last night giving a lecture on chemistry at the palace, before Queen Maria, Queen Theresa, King Louis, the younger branches of the Royal family, and some persons belonging to the Court, when a bottle of oxygen gas being impro perly handed to him by his assistant, who took it for another bottle, an explosion took place, and the bottle flew into a thousand pieces. Fortunately, the explosion occurred in an inner room, the door of which was open. Still some fragments of the glass passed through the door, and slightly wounded some members of the Royal party who were sitting in the front rank. Queen Theresa was cut in the cheek, and the blood flowed in abundance; Prince Luitfold was slightly wounded in the forehead, Countess Luxburg in the chin, and Countess Sandizell in the head. None of these wounds will be of any conse quence. HORRIBLE SUICIDE IN AMERICA..--011 Friday night last, at about one o'clock, the inmates of the St. Charles Hotel, in this city, were startled by the heart-rending screams of a female, whose husband had fallen from the window of the third story, and was a corpse beneath it. This unfortunate man—Mr. Edward Snyder, of Dubuque —being greatly depressed on account of business reverses, had become partially deranged, and deliberately purposed to commit suicide. On the day preceding his melancholy death ho had procured a razor for the purpose, but his wife, discovering it, concealed it between the beds. On Friday he obtained another, and at about one o'clock, while his wife was sleeping, slipped to the window, opened it, leaned far out, so as to be sure to fall, and then plunged the razor into his throat, through all the arteries, nearly to the spinal bone, and fell upon a shed below, and thence to the ground, covering himself and everything around him in a pool of gore. The frantic cries of his wife, who, awakened by the falling of the window, was soon by his side, with bare feet, and in her night clothes, gathered together a number of persons, who bore the corpse into the hotel, where the coroner's inquest was held early in the morning. He had been a man of con siderable property, and returned, two years since, from California, where a great portion of his means were swept away in the flood of 1851. He had been married about three weeks to a lovely and intelligent wife, the feelings of whose lacerated spirit are not to be described by lan guage, or alleviated by. human sympathy.—Keokuck (Iowa) Dispatch, March 3. Row AT FATHER GAYA ZZI'S LECTURES IN NEW YORK.—Father Gavazzi, on his arrival out in New York, met with an enthusiastic reception. On the first instant, we learn from the New York Herald, he delivered his third lecture in the Tabernacle, before an audience much larger than either of those which attended his two former lectures. The worthy Padre was much applauded on making his appearance on the platform. He announced the subject of the evening as " Monks and Nuns." He would prove that both were useless, and dangerous to the Church and to society. Father Gavazzi, as usual, lectured first in Italian, and then proceeded to deliver his lecture in English. During a portion of his Italian address, at which some applause was given, a party of two or three persons, who had attended each of his lectures for the purpose of hissing, commenced their usual performance in that line, when a general call arose through the house to turn them out. A person near one of the trangressors seized him by the collar to drag him out, but was in turn seized by a very efficient police-officer. In the mean time, an Italian drew his fist, and, in a most cowardly manner, struck the hissing gentleman full in the face—a feat which was hissed again by the audience—and this individual was instantly seized by the policeman, and led away in custody, amidst the cheers of the audience, the original trespasser having been also removed. Then Father Gavazzi re sumed, and concluded his lecture without interruption. MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF MORMON PREACHERS.— The Boston Herald, in announcing the death of Elder G. Adams, a Mormon preacher, says :—" On his second visit (to Boston) the Elder preached, baptised converts, whipped a newspaper editor, and played a star engagement at the National Theatre. He was industrious, and filled up all his time. We have a fund of anecdotes concerning this strange mortal, which we shall be glad to print at some other time. We close this article by briefly advert ing to the chastisement he gave an editor for strongly criticising his performance of Richard 111. The office of the editor was in Washington-street, where Propeller now keeps. Adams armed himself with a cowhide, and watched for his victim. Soon the unsuspecting fellow came down the stairs, and Adams sprang upon him, exclaiming ' the Lord has delivered thee into my hands, and I shall give thee 40 stripes save one, Scripture measure. Brother Graham, keep tally.' So saying, he proceeded to lay on the punishment with hearty good will. In the meantime a large crowd had gathered around the avenging priest and the delinquent. When the tally was up, Adams let the man go, and addressed the crowd as follows Men and brethren, my name is Elder George J. Adams, preacher of the everlasting Gospel. I have chastised mine enemy. Igo this afternoon to fulfil an engagement at the Providence Theatre, where I shall play one of Shakspeare's immortal creations. I shall return to this city at the end of the week, and will, by Divine permis sion, preach three times next Sabbath on the immortality of the soul, the eternity of matter, and in answer to a question, Who is the Devil ?' May grace and peace be with you.—Amen !' "—American Paper. HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK JEALOUSY AND MURDER. THE New York Herald of the 2d instant gives the par ticulars of a most deliberate murder, which occurred at half-past ten o'clock on Thursday morning, in the butter and wine packing store of A. Giraud and Co., in the Fifth Ward, New York. It appeared from the statement of Louis Steamer, a boy employed in the store, that the deceased came in at the door leading from Greenwich street, and entered the place of business. He then com menced a conversation with M. De Corn, and showed him a piece of paper, which De Corn seemed to read from. After a little the boy saw Dc Corn retire to a dark angle of the store and draw a pistol from his pocket, raise, it, and fire at the deceased, who fell and instantly ex pired. The murderer ran away immediately, taking the weapon along with him. It was a large, long, and new pistol. The ball penetrated directly into the region o the heart, and lodged about the edge of the right shoulder blade. The deceased was a very respectable looking young Frenchman, and the body was afterwards identified as that of Mr. ugene Mellville. At about half-past three o'clock, Mrs. Mellville, wife of the deceased, came to the Fifth Ward station house, in a carriage, accom panied by Mr. Rucastle, proprietor of the Franklin-square hotel, and stated to Captain Carpenter that she had been informed that her husband was murdered, or shot, and was at the station house, and that she wanted to see the body. Mr. Rucastle then informed the captain that Mrs. Mellville boarded at his house, and he believed that the man charged with the murder was then secreted in the room of Mrs. Mellville, from the fact that at about 11 o'clock that morning he saw a man bearing the description of the accused enter the room occupied by Mrs. Mellville. Accordingly, Captain Carpenter proceeded forthwith to the room, accompanied by Mr. Rucastle; the door aas forced open, and De Corn found secreted in the closet ; his person. was searched, and in his pocket was found a pistol one of Colt's revolvers which he ac knowledged he had discharged at the deceased, and inflicted the fatal wound. The accused was taken into custody, and conveyed to the station house, there to await the holding of the Coroner's inquest. The trunk belonging to Mrs. Mellville was brought to the station-house, and when opened a large number of letters were found, showing quite an extensive correspondence between herself and gentlemen admirers. There was also found in the trunk a daguerreotype likeness of De Corn, the man under arrest for the murder. The wife of the deceased, at first sight, is not very prepossessing in her appearance, but becomes more interesting on acquaintance. Her conversational powers are very good. She converses readily in the French language. She is of medium stature, rather short in person, dark complexion, black hair, and dark piercing eyes. There appears to be much determina tion in her disposition, yet withal a perfect nonchalance. But to use her own language, she says :—" I was born in Connecticut, and shall be 19 years of age next October; my parents are dead ; my maiden name is Emma Eugenia Woods •, I was educated in Philadelphia, and have travelled considerably ; my uncle is in Calt f ornia ; about a year ago my uncle sent for me to visit California ; I started, and, arriving at Chagres, was taken with fever, and there remained sick for six weeks, and being unable to proceed, returned back to New Orleans, and there be came acquainted with this poor unfortunate man, Eugene Mellville ; we returned to New York in August last, and in October we were married by the Rev. Mr. Verren, and Mr. De Corn and Mr. Giraud were both present at the ceremony, since which time we have lived together until the last eight days past ; I have an income of my own of 4r600 a-year, which my husband used to take from me, and spend, leaving our board unpaid ; ever since our mar riage I have supported him ; he latterly became jealous, and threatened frequently to take the life of Mr. De Corn; Mr. De Corn has been a good friend both to Mellville and myself, he has loaned me money to enable me to pay my board ; there has never been any improper intimacy between myself and Mr. De Corn. De Corn has been committed to the Tombs, to wait "a prompt and speedy trial." The body of the unfortunate Mellville was privately interred. Capt. Carpenter sent for an under taker, and a handsome coffin was soon furnished. At half past two o'clock in the afternoon, the hearse drove up, at tended by a private carriage. The widow of the deceased accompanied by her friend, Mrs. Barker, and officer Evans, of the police force, occupied the carriage. The funeral then moved to the New York Bay Cemetery, New Jersey, where the body was buried. The lonely at tendance had a peculiarly saddening effect. De Corn has retained counsel for his defence. It is said that Mrs Mellville has also employed a lawyer. trading under the title of the Atlantic and Pacific Ship Canal Company, applied to the Mosquito King, through the British Consul, for permission to establish a depot coaling-yard, &c., on Point Arenas, a spit of land:which forms one side of the harbour, on the opposite side from the city of San Juan. The desired privilege was granted, and the company erected the necessary buildings on the spot indicated. Afterwards, the Municipal Government of San Juan required this depOt as a quarantine-ground ; and, the company having refused to surrender it, legal proceedings were instituted, and an ejectment issued for the expulsion of the company's employes and the demoli tion of the buildings they had erected. In pursuance of the decision of the local court, the authorities were pro ceeding to eject the Transit Company, when the U.S. sloop-of-war Cyane arrived in the harbour, and Captain Hollins, her commander, sent word ashore that he would permit no " depredation" on the property of the company. To this the mayor retorted that no " depredation" was intended, but that he would proceed to carry out the ejectment unless prevented by superior force. A boat containing a constable and two men was then despatched across the bay to serve the ejectment, but was stopped by a party of marines from the Cyane. Titus foiled, the mayor and his advisers drew up a protest, surrendered the town to Captain Hollins, and lowered their flag. The Cyane continued to keep the town blockaded and suffered no one to cross the harbour. These proceedings took place during the absence of Mr. Foote, the British Vice-consul. On his return to Greytown he caused the Mosquitan flag to be again hoisted, and proceeded on the Cyane to claim the site in dispute as under the juris diction of Mosquita, and the protection of England. A schooner had been despatched by the British Consul to inform the Admiral on the West India station of the above circumstances. Thus stood the position of affairs at latest dates. RIVER PLATE.—A letter, dated Buenos Ayres, Feb. 18, says that " Urquiza had crossed the Parana, on his march to Buenos Ayres, at the head of six hundred men, which would be largely increased at Sante Fe. The go vernment at Buenos Ayres proposed to make a new paper emission of thirty million dollars, which would make the paper currency nearly valueless. Doubloons were up to 335." COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, APRIL 6. MONEY MARKET.—There is rather more ease in money matters. The demand, however, continues very active, and the rates of interest are unchanged, 7 per cent. being still freely paid on call loans. Stocks of all descriptions have slightly improved, but the market generally is tame, and the sales limited. The new 6 per cent. loan of the state of North Carolina for X 500,000 was taken on the 31st ult., at a premium of 5 2-100 per cent., exclusive of interest. The imports of foreign goods for the quarter ending Ist instant are £'49,932,000. Up to the same date in 1852 they amounted to £32,109,000. On the other hand, the excess in value of this year's cotton crop is estimated at fully £'25,000,000. A fair business had been transacted in exchange, and bills on London and Paris were higher. We quote bills on London 91. to 91 prem. ; Paris, 5.131 to 5-16.;. COTTON.—(From W. P. 'Wright's Circular) .—W e have had another active week, and a further advance of 4-e. per lb. has been established. The total sales since the 28th ult. have been 16,000 bales, chiefly for export to Liverpool and Havre, and generally on American account. Some limited purchases have been made for the continent of Europe and on local speculation. The export during the same time has been, to Liverpool, 5.807 bales; Glas gow, 322 ; Havre, 5,658 ; Cronstadt, 1,274 ; Riga, 1,753 ; Antwerp, 95 ; Bremen, 82 ; Hamburg, 34 : total, 15,025 bales. Respecting the new crop, I have, since the com mencement of the present season, strictly adhered to a simple expression of the opinion " that it would exceed the last." The receipts into the ports are now, perhaps, sufficiently advanced to call for detailed examination with reference to the probable final amount. I, then, arrive at the following probable amount of crop, remarking, however, that I reserve to myself the privilege of altering it in two months hence, by which time planters, having finished their field-work, will have had several weeks' opportunity to wagon cotton to market, and I shall be better able to judge of the quantity remaining in the in terior. In the meantime it is enough to say that, in all probability, the crop will not be less than 3,310,000 bales, as follows : Present 1833. 1552. Increase. Excess. Texas New Orleans Mobile (by telegraph) 580,000 550,000 30,000 39,000 Florida (in. Columbus) 190,000 188,000 2.000 9,000 Atlantic (in.

De crease to France, 45,000. Total increase in exports, 140,000 bales. BREADSTUFFS.—FIour was in good demand, and prices had advanced to the extent of 25 cents per barrel from the lowest point during the previous depression. With this advance, our present quotations conform, but the extreme rates are not readily obtained for shipping quali ties. Wheat of good sound quality is very scarce, and prices have advanced 5 and 6 cents per bushel. Indian corn with rather scant supplies, and prices had risen 2 to 4 cents per bushel. Corn meal in moderate demand, at £3.12,.1. to $3,04 per barrel. PROVISIONS.—AIthough prices for pork are somewhat lower, still there is a fair demand for consumption and export ; the stock in this market is less than it has been, at the same time in the season, for years. We quote mess pork, el4l to S'ls-; prime, Sin to sui; clear, $l7. Lard is in small stock, and the demand fair, at from 94c. to Ole. ; barrels and kegs, 101 c. Cut 'meats are more plenty. Beef is in fair demand. We quote or dinary qualities and country, lower : ST+ to .810 for prime mess ; and .S's to S's 4 for city mess. Beef hams, ordinary, £'l3+ to el 4 ; extra, 815 to elsl. Butter : stocks large and prices irregular. Cheese : Light stock ; sales from Sc. to sae., as in quality. NAVAL STORES.—Moderate sales of spirits of turpen tine have been made at 57c. to 60c. ; the last sales of rough turpentine were at £'4 50e. to £4 75c. North county common rosin at el. 40c. to 8160 c. Tar, 43'2 371 c. to .B'2 50c. lnoN.-The market remains very quiet. English bars are dull and nominal, common can be bought at , 565. Of Scotch pig we have but to note sales of a few hundred tons to arrive, at 8'33 to 835, and in a small way here at 4'37 50c. to =B4O, six months. LEAD.-There has been an extensive speculative move ment in pig, and 1,700 Spanish and English, here and to arrive, have been sold at S'6 121 c. to S 6 75c., cash, showing a considerable advance; more is now asked, the quantity on sale being thus materially reduced. FREIGHTS.-To Liverpool: cotton, square bales per pound, 9-32 to 5-16 ; flour and meal, per barrel, 2s. 9d. to 3s. ; rosin, 2s. 71d. to 2s. 9d.; heavy goods, per ton, 255. to 30s. ; grain, in bulk, per bushel, 6id. to 7d.; oil, 30s.

Com stock, arrived on Thursday morning, with advises from New York to the 2nd inst. She brought 181 passengers, and about 6,000 dols. in specie on freight. The Baltic, when two days out, broke the crank pin of her engines, and had to lie-to for 26 hours in consequence. At one o'clock on Thursday morning she got foul of the Bell buoy, and lost an anchor and a quantity of chain. The steamer Niagara, from Liverpool, arrived at' Boston on the Ist inst. By telegraph from Savannah we learn that the Royal mail steam-ship Conway, with late advices from the West Indies, had arrived there. CURIOSITIES OF RAG FAIR, LONDON. It seems difficult to discover the climax of London poverty and destitution. In every depth there is a deeper still. The prices of various kinds o f p rov i s i ons i n these neighbourhoods give a forcible notion of the condition of their swarming population. In most of these neighbour hoods you can purchase a halfpenny worth of fish or a halfpennyworth of soup, and other matters in proportion. The luxuries are singular in their price and character, a farthing's worth of damaged oranges, for example, being hawked about the streets and sold in the shops. " Rag fair," that well-known mart for every description of second-hand clothing, will supply good habits at any price. If some of our readers wish to judge for them selves, Cutler-street, a turning in Hounaditch, will lead them to the district. It is a curious scene : hundreds of people are assembled in the streets, which are so thickly covered with merchandise that it is difficult to step along without treading on heaps of gowns, shawls, bonnets, shoes, and articles of men's attire. " Here Greek meets Greek," and not without " the tug of war." No person can form an idea of this anomalous multitude but by a visit : all poor and squalid ; the children pinched and bleached, not " brought up," but, as Lamb says, " dragged up." Here may be seen in on e o f t h e mar k ets, formed by some of the pillars and covering of the Hyde park Exhibition, the great dealer, standing in his well known place, and purchasing perhaps many cartloads of clothing for exportation to the colonies, Ireland, and elsewhere; and other dealers of various grades, until we reach the merchant whose capital is less than a shilling, and who daily gets a living by the purchase of shoes, hats, and other matters, th e uses o f w hi c h, looki▪ ng at their condition, it would be difficult to guess. The following is a bill delivered by the dealer to one of th e missionaries, who was requested to supply a sui▪ t of clothes for a man and woman whom he had persuaded to get mar ried several years after the right time : s. d.

In the Rugby Advertiser, we perceive a somewhat curious article, entitled " The Ten Tribes—where are they ?" " The English Nation—who are they ?" The writer of this paper says :—" The first mention in historY of the modern nations of Europe is of the Kimmerans UT Kelts, 700 years!n.c. ; these were followed by the Scythian. or Gothic tribes ; they are each given by the old historians an Asiatic origin, and the latter traced to those very parts near the Caspian Sea and the cities of the lledes, where Israel was placed by the Kings of Assyria. * * * The Welsh and the Celts are the descendants of these first corners, and many antiquarians have supposed both the Cimbri and the Celts to be of Israel. The Welsh than. selves trace their ancestors in their triads to the region between the Caspian and Black Sea. And surely it re quires no very great stretch of credulity to suppose these wanderers 'from the country of summer' (to use their oval term) to have been some of the escaped of the house el Israel,' whom the prophets so frequently addressed." MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR. On Tuesday a commission, in the nature of a writ de lunatico inquirendo, was opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, Chiswick, for the purpose of investigating the forstate oo Nottingham, t fi nt : nge i ehne:dx:aor,mf butiTMnua rkt examination Tuke suggested has Feargus uoogfg est sincee witnesses, JuneO ' thatC o O'Connor, lastn o r h , formerlys been n M s o y r l .ou , s T e u . rn A h s am t - h g e re m en o . rniril wa m nit a Ads t v e freu o rrr f yy D p r .r proceeded e k d e e ' s d lunatic t o A a n take place in the garden at the back t f ht t ei Commissioner assented, and with the jury.walked on the e green sward to await the arrival of Mr. O'Connor.

I love him ! I idolise him ! I deify him ! I adore him ' The next moment, observing his former s olicitor, Mr. li s at ße a ll h l and l so Turner, he grasped his hand and called out loudly, " And hero's Turner ! I idolise him !

Bo' Pownall earnestly endeavoured to attract his mind to a rational subject, and asked the unhappy man of what 1116 property consisted ! All he could obtain in reply was, that' he had two newspapers; but he would not enter into per; ticulars on this head. The conversation having ceased for a moment, Mr. O'Connor drew himself up, and strill' ing both hands upon his thighs to mark the metre of 11 1 6 verse, recited with great rapidity some lines ending with " Who strove for the patriots —was up night and day ? Who sav'd them from falling to tyrants a prey ? 'Twas Feargus O'Connor was diligent then ; We'll rally around him again and again." As he approached the end of this doggerel, once WY popular among his followers, Mr. O'Connor became cow siderably excited, moving rapidly backwards and forwardef and betraying much of that bold address which distill' guished his oratorical displays in f ormer d ays .
