SUICIDE OF MR. SADLEIR, M.P.

The body of Mr. J. Sadleir, M.P., was found on Sandal
morning. on Hampstead-heath, at a considerable distance•from
the public-road. A large bottle, labelled "Essential oil of
bitter almonds," and a silver cream-jug, both of which cee'
tained a small quantity. of the poison, lay by his side. The
body was at once removed to the workhouse, where it we
seen by Dr. Nichol a few minutes afterwards. A powerful
odour of bitter almonds was perceptible at the mouth, so that
there can be no doubt he died from the effects of this poison•
He had, probably, lain on the spot where he was found during
the greater part of the night, as the body was quite cold, and
the rigor mortis completely established.
It appears that Mr. Sadleir left his house (11, Gloucester•
square, Hyde-park) about half-past eleven o'clock on Saturde
night, and as yet nothing further has been ascertained respect'
ing his movements.
Mr. Sadleir formerly practised as a solicitor in Dublin with
great success, and enjoyed a high professional reputation.
1847 he entered parliament as member for Carlow, and sat for
that borough until the dissolution in 1852. Upon the acces-
sion of Lord Aberdeen to the Premiership Mr. Sadleir svae
offered, and accepted, office as a Lord of the Treasury, and be
continued a member of the administration for some months.
In 1843 he became chairman of the London and County Joint
Stock Banking Company, and for several years presided over
the affairs of that body with great ability. A few months
since he vacated the chair, and, though his connexion with the
company continued, he took no active part in its business.
occupation of the chair at the last general meeting was simplY
an act of courtesy towards his late colleagues in the direction.
It is said that he was a purchaser to a large amount of lands
sold in the Encumbered Estates Court in Ireland, and that he
was extensively connected with various commercial under-
takings of magnitude, but that he was under no heavy lia-
bilities to the banking company to which we have alluded;
and that for the comparatively small account that remained
open against him at the time of his decease the company Wee
guaranteed by ample securities.

THE WAR.

THE intelligence furnished from the Crimea by the cr-
respondents of the London daily journals reaches to the 2ndof
February, inclusive. The news so communicated is of a characer
similar to what has formed the staple of the recent despatchs.
The weather has continued variable, with occasionally vry
severe frosts, which, although not entirely dispelled, hve
nevertheless been so broken in upon by falls of rain and intr..
vals of thaw, as to render the camp very disagreeable, aniin
many instances equestrianism, from various causes, has ben
greatly interrupted. The health of the British army tontines
excellent; and even the new levies of recruits lately sent tut
appear not only to
,agree with the place and the climate, ',a
are represented as in the enjoyment of robust, indeed ride
health. The destruction of the' docks has been completd;
but the tale of military exploits and adventure continues wih-
out interest, and to be devoid of incident. The prospects of
peace afford a fertile theme of speculation to both officers and
men, and, as might have been expected, the subject is largely
dwelt upon by the correspondents of the journals.
The Times' correspondent, writing from the Camp bebre
Sebastopol, on the 28th of January, says, in reference to tie

"WHITHER?"

Whither away, youth, whither away,
With lizhtsome step, and with joyous heart,
And c 3 es that Hope's gay glances dart ?
Whither away— whither away ?
Into the world—the glorious world,
To gain the prize of the brave and bold,
To snatch the crown from the age of gold—
Into the world—into the world.

Whither away, girl, whither away ?
Thy soft blue eyes are suffused with love,
And thy smile is as bright as the sunshine above—
Whither away—whither away ?
Into the world—the beautiful world,
To meet the heart that must mate with mine,
And make the measure of life divine—
Into the world—into the world.
Whither away, old man, whither away,
With locks of white and form bent low,
And trembling hands and steps so slow ?
Whither away—whither away ?

Out of the world, oh ! the weary world,
With its empty pleasures and poison'd joys,
Whose draught first gladdens and then destroys—
Out of the world—out of the world ;
With shattered hopes, and with feeble frame,
From life's sharp struggle and unsped aim—
Out of the world, oh ! the weary world.
Whither away, poor one, whither away,
Hurrying swiftly, with weeping eyes,
And hectic cheeks, and smother'd sighs—
Whither away—whither away ?
Out of the world, oh ! the cold, cold, world !
Oh ! Father my heart .... but there is rest
For the sinking soul and the bruised breast,
Out of the world—out of the world.

ALLEGED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN

ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
The Paris correspondent of the Post writes --" There are
two false statements which have gone the round of the conti-
nental press. It has been stated. that the governments of
France and England are not agreed on the questions to be
mooted at the congress. Such is not the case. If there be
any difference whatever between the two cabinets, it is simply
reduced to this : the Emperor's advisers were addressed in the
first instance by Austria, and the ultimatum came through
Paris. Her Majesty's government then agreed with that of
the Emperor on what terms the interests of Europe could be
secured against the designs of Russia. Hitherto the action of
the allies—that is, France and England—has been perfectly
unanimous • and if the envoys exercise the same union and
decision which has hitherto characterized the proceedings of
their respective governments, there can be no doubt as to re-
sults. I beg to draw your attention to this assertion, because
the enemies of the Anglo-French alliance are singularly active
just now in• promulgating mysterious assertions."

SICK II EAD-ACH E, VOMITING, AND GENERAL DEBILITY
EXTRAORDINARY CURE I

The daughter of James Hillage, of Vronheulog, Llanfiliangel,
six miles from Llantyllm,Carrnarthenshire,was afflicted for a long
time with general debility,. suffering from sick headache, langour,
vomiting, sinking at the pit of the stomach, and the thousand and
onem oittilnieg,
r evils of a generally deranged system. She was under
medical treatment for a long time, but unfortunately was not be-
nefited thereby—and every other remedy failed. The father then
put her through a course of Holloway's Pills, and after perse-
vering for a short time according to the directions, the bloom of
health again appeared upon her countenance, and she was com-
pletely cured, to the astonishment of all who knew her.

Holloway's Pills are the best remedy known in the world for the
following diseases:—

Popular History of the Palms and their Allies.
By Berthold Seeman, Ph. D. London : Reeve.

The object of this very interesting volume is to give
to the world a complete view of the natural history
and numerous economical uses of the various species
of the palm tribe, and that object is very fully accom-
plished in the elaborate and tastefully-compiled volume
under consideration. Its author is a botanist of repu-
tation, and his name is sufficient guarantee for the
scientific accuracy of the treatise ; while his opportu-
nities of personal investigation, afforded in his voyage
round the world in H.M.S. " Herald," confer on his
remarks a degree of authentication not always to be met
with in books of the class to which this one professes
to belong. To extensive personal observation, our
author adds wide research among the works of those
who are acknowledged as authorities on the subject ;
and these he freely avails himself of, and candidly
acknowledges their value.
He is eloquent upon the numerous, or almost innu-
merable, uses to which the various portions and
different kinds of palm are applied in savage and in
civilised life. These uses have been frequently
descanted on by travellers, and they have formed the
theme of many a poet's lay, but they have seldom
been placed in so conspicuous and picturesque a light
as they are presented to us in the annexed catalogue

SPAIN.

Tha Madrid Gazette says that the Carlists are recom-
mencing their agitation. Cabrera is trying to raise his par-
tisans, and although Generals Elio, Arroyo, and Arrevalo
altogether disapprove of any new attempt, an armed rising is,
according to this journal, expected in the spring.

PERSIA.

Letters from Persia state that Dost Mahommed was close
upon Herat. The Shah had mustered an army to oppose him.
Hitherto the Alighans had had the best of it. Selim Pasha
was sending all European officers from Erzeroain. The main
body of the Russians had retired from Kars, taking all the
guns with them. The road to Gumri is said to be quite open,
despite snow

CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 18.—Our market. in conjunction with all
the other English markets, still continues declining, and the
general tendency is to lower prices for all meat. Beef to-day,
although not a heavy supply, could not be all sold even at a smart
reduction in price, and mutton, with rather a better demand than
for beef. was also sold at less money. Beef, ,lid to 6*d; mutton,
sid to 6id. Number of beasts, 2,331 ; sheep, 6,530.

- -
SALFORD, FEB. 13.—The first quality maintained former
rates ; inferior lower. A great number left unsold. Best beef,
6d to 611; middling, sid to 50; cows, 4d to Sid; best weddera,
tkl to 7d; heavy weights, 6d to 60; ewes, 5d to 50 ; calves, 5d
to 7d. Beasts, 1.673 ; sheep, 6,843 ; calves, 156.
DUBLIN, Fan. 14.—There was a considerable supply of cattle,
which were difficult to sell at a reduction of 4s to 5s a head from
last werk, the general run of beet being from 32s to 565; top
single beast, 58s to 60s per cwt.; veal, lid per lb. Sheep firm,
good being scarce, currency 54d to 7d per lb. The pig market 2a
downward—heavy, 46s to 48s; light, 45s per cwt. The demand
for England not quite so active.

THESE PILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD.

These famous Pills are expressly combined to operate on the
stomach, the liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the skin, and the
bowels, correcting any derangement in their functions, purifying
the blood, the very fountain of life, and thus curing disease in all
its forms.
DYSPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.
Nearly half the human race have taken these Pills. It has been
proved in all parts of the world, that nothing has been found equal
to them in cases of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach.
complaints generally. They soon give a healthy tone to those
organs, however much deranged, and when all other means have
GENERAL DEBILITY.—ILL HEALTH.

Many of the most despotic governments have opened their
Custom-houses to the introduction of these Pills, that they may
become the medicine of the masses. Learned Colleges admit that
this medicine is the best remedy ever known for persons of deli-
cate health, or where the system has been impaired, as its invi-
gorating properties never fail to afford relief.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.

No female, young or old, should be without this celebrated me-
dicine. It corrects and regulates at all periods, acting in many
cases like a charm. It is also the best and safest medicine that
can be given to children of all ages, and for any complaint; con-
sequently no family should be without it.

"WHITHER?"

Whither away, youth, whither away,
With lightsome step, and with joyous heart,
And eyes that Hope's gay glances dart ?
Whither away—whither away ?
Into the world—the glorious world,
To gain the prize of the brave and bold,
To snatch the crown from the age of gold—
Into the world—into the world.

Whither away, girl, whither away ?
Thy soft blue eyes are suffused with love,
And thy smile is as bright as the sunshine above—
Whither away—whither away ?
Into the world—the beautiful world,
To meet the heart that must mate with mine,
And make the measure of life divine—
Into the world—into the world.

Whither away, old man, whither away,
With locks of white and form bent low,
And trembling hands and steps so slow ?
Whither away—whither away ?

Out of the world, oh ! the weary world,
With its empty pleasures and poison'd joys,
Whose draught first gladdens and then destroys—
Out of the world—out of the world ;
With shattered hopes, and with feeble frame,
From life's sharp struggle and unsped aim—
Out of the world, oh ! the weary world.
Whither away, poor one, whither away,
Hurrying swiftly, with weeping eyes,
And hectic cheeks, and smother'd sighs—
Whither away— whither away ?
Out'of the world, oh! the cold, cold, world !
Oh ! Father my heart .... but there is rest
For the sinking soul and the bruised breast,
Out of the world—out of the world.

LOSS OF THE POLYPHEMUS STEAM
FRIGATE.

The Admiralty has received the following from H.M. Con-
sul-general at Hamburg :
" I have great satisfaction in reporting that the Quarter-
master, Samuel Fletcher, and 15 seamen of the late Polyphe-
mus ship, who were in the two boats, have been saved by a
Danish vessel, and have just arrived from Hgerting. They
will go in charge of the chief engineer, Mr. Wood, with the
other men, to London."

The Danish government have issued instructions to their
postmasters to confiscate all letters not registered. The
amount asked by the Danish government to capitalise the
sound dues is 63,000,000 dollars.

SABBATH-DAY RECREATIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Stn,—Observing a desire on the part of some benevolent,
and no doubt conscientious, persons to promote the relaxation
and, at the same time, instruction and improvement of the
masses, by enticing them to listen to performances, on
our noble organ at St. George's-hall, on Sundays, it has oc-
curred to my mind, if full cathedral service was celebraed
there, admission free, it would attract those who never visit
our churches, and would bring them under the sound of the
Gospel, and lead to much good, if our most popular ministers
would take it in turns to give their services, with a suitable
discourse. S. C. W.

COLDNESS OF THE WEATHER.

It is so intensely cold to-day, that I can hardly hold the
pen. February is at last upon us, with snow enough for the
Arctic regions. The French dance themselves into warmth.
Another ball is fixed for to-night at the Circle des Ojficiers,
Canonville, and another took place on Thursday last at the
adjacent Quartier-General Francais. The French army is not
so healthy as our own.

FREE USE OF THE MONEY ORDER OFFICE.
I must still mention one point, however, that affects the
wives and families of our soldiers. The Money Order Office
at General Codrington's head-quarters has been open, and our
men, the very first day, sent to England no less than £3OO.
Pretty well, this, for fellows who are said to spend their all in
drunkenness. The office is under the direction of Mr. Charles
Bliss, who seems to be a most efficient person for the post.
P.S.—A perfect storm is raging around us.

INFIDELITY INEXCUSABLE. ONE GOD :
Infinite to Power, Wisdom, and Goodness. Proved by His
Works and by His Word, with the necessary inferences there-

"This is a very well.written, cl,sely-reasoned, and able argu-
ment. It is altogether highly creditable to the piety and ability
of the writer, and will well repay an attentive perusal."—Morning
Post.
"In its rapid survey of the wonders of Nature, it gives evidence
of a well-stored mind, whilst the inferences which the author
deduces, both from the marvels of the universe and the doctrines
of Revelation, are expressed in terms which leave no doubt of the
purity of his intentions and the sincerity of his advocacy."—
Athenceirm.
" It establishes the existence of the Deity in the first instance
by proofs independent of Revelation, and subsequently by evidence
derived from Holy Writ, and thus demonstrates what Ds title im-
plies, that the infidel is without excuse.' "—John Bun.

truly be said to leave infidelity inexcusable.' "—Liverpool

The Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill passed through

The report of the amendments in the Trial of Offences Bill
was agreed to.
THE CRIMEAN COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.—Lord PANMURE
—My lords, I think it my duty to inform you that her Ma-
jesty, by the advice of her ministers, bas appointed a board of
general officers to inquire into the matters adverted to in the
report of the commissioners who were sent to the Crimea to
make certain inquiries. This board is to receive explanations
on the subject of complaints made by officers who have been
adverted to in that report, and to inquire into all the circum-
stances connected therewith.—The Earl of HARDWICKE
thought the step should have been taken by the Commander-
in-Chief of the army long ago. The officers whose conduct had
been impugned by the report had been placed in a very diffi-
cult position, and had been obliged to redress their grievances
themselves in the public prints—a course likely to be danger-
ous to the discipline of the army and to the public service.—
Lord PANMURE said the full report was only received on
the 22nd of January : previous to that date the Government
was not in possession of information on which it could act. A
first report was received in June last, but it was a bald and
meagre statement, referring only to one department not under
the control of the Commander-in-Chief, and unaccompanied by
any evidence whatever. Now, certain officers found themselves
blamed by the report ; and a board of general officers uncon-
nected with affairs in the Crimea had been appointed to inquire
into the matters alleged, and to hear the defence of these
officers.—After some further remarks, the conversation dropped.
