THE STANFIELD-lIALLMaII ItS.—From inquiries
made on Saturday at Stanfield-hall, as to the state of health
of the unfortunate lady Mrs. Jenny, and her maid, Elizabeth
Chestney, it appears that Mrs. Jenny was described to be in
an czctedingly naiad condition. Since the operation she
underwent on Tuesday morning, of the amputation of her
wounded arm, she has bad two good nights- rest; and,
although she is far from befog out of danger, yet her suf-
ferings ars not so sewn as they were previous to the removal
of the limb. At first it was deemed necessary by the legal
newt. men who *;are preparing the ease for the prosecution,
that Mrs. Jenny should be brought .Thrward as a witness at
the trial, to prove certain important conversations between
the Mier Mr. Jenny and Rush, a few days prior to the aim-
'tannin. It is now clear, however, even should she sur-
vive, that it will be quite impossible for her to attend. It has
been said that, by the Attorney-General's new act, Mrs.
Jenny's deposition would be admissible as evidence. Such,
however, appears not to be the take. Another difficulty also
preents itself in the unfavourable state of Eliza Chestney.
The poor girl is devotedly attached to her mistress when
precarious oondiion has so much affected her as to bring ea
' a relapse, and she continues in a low way, requiring the con-
stant attendance et the medical gentlemen. Notwithstand-
ing the melancholy condition of these wheelies, the officers
for the prosecution bans decided on placing Rush on his
trial at the forthcoming assizes, which commence this day
week, at Norwich Castle. On the authority of a magistrate,
we learn that Rush intends to defend himself. The greatest
interest is manifested amongst the gentry of the county to be
present at the trial, and it is stated that already large prices
have been offered for seats in the bourt.

EXTRAORDINARY6I.IICIDE7=AII act of suicide, on
the part of a young and newly-married female, took plan a
short time since, at the retired village et Leayeadee, near
Watford. The deceased was a young woman of excellent
character, and had lived in service, for two or three years, at
Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire, where, it is said, she " kept
company" with a young man, with whom her future mar-
riage was partly arranged. Circumstances occasioned her
removal to Watford, where she attracted the attention of a
respectable young man, named Downer, the son of the
keeper of the village elehouse, at Leavesden. The second
lover plied his suit so successfully that, aided by the recom-
mendation of the deceased's own relatives, the former attach-
ment was soon forgotten, and a marriage agreed upon be-
tween the deceased and himself. This marriage was solemnised
on the Sunday, and after the ceremony, the newly-wedded
pair took possession of a neatly furnished cottage in
Leaveeden, intending to make it their future residence.
The busb nd remained at home on the Monday and
Tuesday. Oa Wednesday morning he left hems for
the purpose of resuming his occupation, that of a carpenter,
at Watford. Before leaving, he laid the Are for his wife, who
remained in bed at the time of has departure. It the tree-
log, on his return home, he found b 1 cottage door fastened.
Imeginiag that his wife might be gone to her father-In-law's,
he hastened there to meet her ; bu't, on inquiry, it appeared
that they bad seen nothing of her' day. Returning to his
cottage, and aiding the door still' locked, he buret it open,
when he was surprised to find the fire just as he bad left it
in the nursing. On proceeding up stain he wee horror-
struck at discovering his wife, in her night-dress, suspended
by a cord to the bed-post, and quite cold and stiff. • Medi-
cal assistance was called in, but death having taken pftes
massy hours previously, of course nothing could be done. A
close examination discovered nothing leading to any explana-
tion, on the part of the deceased, of the rash act she had
committed, but it was quite evident that her purpose had
been most determined, and that she had hung herself almost
immediahly after her husband's departure in the morning.
As inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of "Tem-
insanity" returned. It is rumoured in the neighbour-
hood that the exciting cane which led to the melan-
choly event was the deceased's own regret at the faithless-
ness she had sho'wn to her former lover.

TENANT-RIGHT.—Thu subject was diecumed by
We members of the Reading Fusion' Club at their last
meeting. The discussion wee opened by Mr. Young, of
Burgtfield, who proposed a resolution to the effect, that a
leghlative enactment was necessary to secure a just and
equitable system of tenant-right between landlord sad
tenant; and after 10•01 al members had taken put in it, an
adjournment took place.

MB. COBDEN'S MOTION FOB ARBTTRATION.—On
Fridsw weenies a pnbliemasting weglaild Meydon's Pub-
lic Rooms, Devonport, " for the purpose of adcpting a peti-
tion to parliament in favour of'Mr. Cobden's motion for spe-
cial treaties of athitration to supersede the cruel and costly
war system." The meeting was attended by a large number
of pumas. The chair was filled by the Rev. J. Fryer, who,
in opening the meeting, stated, that simultaneously with
Mr. Cobden having given notice of a motion for special tree-
tiesof arbitration in the British parliament, a member of tie
Rationed. Amenably in Franca lad given similar notice, and
a member of Con in America bad expressed his inten-
tion of availing itimself of the earliest day to bring before
that body a similar motion. Thus the three largest e.untries
in Christ nelom wore at ores taking the sans practical course
for terminating the war system and establishing peace.
—Mr. W. R. D. Gilbert moved tbe Bret resolution. He
'poke of war u a great scourge, which was followed by the
cry of the orphan, the lamentation of the widow, the laying
wafts of eouatries, and as presenting Out obstacles to coin-
. wren. The resolution was as follows: " That in the opinion
of this meeting the maintenance of the war system is incon-
sistent with the spirit and precepts of Christianity, and in-
imical to the best interests of mankind, involving, as it does,
an awful sacrifice of human life, exciting the most malignant
passienr, aced imposing opprenive burdens of taxation upon
the industrial resources of natioas."—Mr P. Edwards se-
conded the resolution. He said that in addition to the
notices of motion referred to by the chairman, a similar one
had been recently brought under the attention of the German
parliament. He hoped that as England had led the van in
the march of modem civillention, she would lead the way in
the march of peace, in the trestles of arbitration; sock
treatise had I eon tried, and had preyed invariably snooreafel.
The Rev. T. Horton moved the second resolution.—" That
experience haying proied that disputes between nations may
be eatisfactorly adjusted by arbitration, without having
recourse to war, this meeting is of opinion that means ahosli
be immediately adopted /or the formation of international
treaties between the govevnannt et this country
