attention during the past month. The mur-
derer of Mr. Little is still at large, notwith-
standing every exertion which the police are
hourly using. As intimated in Saturday's
NORTHERN TtMxs, Marley, the murderer of Mr.
Cope, in Parliament-street, London, has been found
guilty, and sentenced to death without the slight-
est hope of mercy'. Marley was a ticket-of-leave
man. Ng doubt his ConvietiOn will enable those
who deSire a revival of transportation to renew
their arguments and agitations. Immediately after
the sentence of death was passed on the condemned
culprit Marley, he was removed into the, interior of
Newgate,:itntl. the ivhole of his ;clothing taken from
him, and subjected to'a most rigorous search, in
order—to "ascertain-That- the -convict had nothing
concealed for the purpose of taking his own life.
During this process, the nonchalance and coolness
which Marley evinced 'during his trial seemed
gradually to forstiketim, and on being subsequently
conducted to the condemned his courage
coMpletely forsook him, and the wretched man
threw himself on the pallet completely overwhelmed.
Two turnkeys were placed in the _eell, and,_ till -the
time arrives his execution, he will never be left
alone. From the subdued tone and manner of the
convict, it is expected that he will make some
important revelations in respect to his accomplices
in the crime for' which' he stands condemned, as
also in .reference to other crimes of an equally
heinous character, in which there is reason to
believe he has borne a part. The execution of
Marley will take place on Monday, December 15.
With, respect to the Erith tragedy, the coroner's
jury have found' a verdict of wilful murder against
Worrell, but the unfortunate assassin has gone to
his last aeeounti- so- that the- verdiet is inoperative,
and can only add ignominy to his memory.
The advocates of 'an extention of national
education have been supporting the movement at
Huddersfield. On Thursday evening Sir John
Pakington, Sir Robert Peel,. and Lord Goderioh,
attended a soiree of the Huddersfield Mechanics'
Institute, and urged their views. The proaeedings
were in terestingi jar* Aber pEe'ierited one strange
ineatlgrintr Mkyir General Windham, _‘2 the
heru'of the Reda-fir was present, and in being so
was slightly out of place, fort instead of education,
the subject of his 'speech was more soldiers for the
defence of England.
There is not much local intelligence of moment.
On Saturday-the admirers of Sir William Wallace
held a meeting to further the movement for erect-
ing a monument to the memory of this illustrious
hero. The late proceedings of the Financial
Reform Association, inserted in another column,
are of an interesting character.

- For some days past a rumour prevailed that Mr.
Braithwaite Poole, so long and favourable known
as goods' manager of_ the. London—and—North
Western Railway Company, bad been appointed
agent of the goods department of the• Great Western
Company. kri advertisement in another column
confirms the report. Mr. Pool's standing and-
intimate knowledge of the goods' traffic in the
north of England, must render him a valuable and
important functionary to the Great Western Com-
pany, whilst his secession from his-former engage-
ment must tell rather prejudicially against the
London and North ;Western Company. _
The vacant bishopric of Ripon has been filled
up by the elevation of the Rev. Mr. Bickersteth, of
St. Giles's, London. Mr. Bickersteth is the nephew
of the late Lord Langdale, being the son of the
bite Rev. Sohn Bickersteth, the rector of Sapcote.
He has been for about fourteen' years a laborious
and successful parish priest. His first post was at
Reading, from whence he was summoned to take
the incumbency of a new church at Clapham. His
labours in that place were so highly appreciated'
that it was only with much difficulty that he could.-
be-persuaded to accept the rectory of St. diles's-in-
the-Fields.

Matters on the Continent are still unsettled.
From Patent° we hear that au' insurrection` has
taken place in that city. It is said that the
resumption of the Congress at Paris has been 'de-
finitely fixed. Austria, it is rumoured, has given
up her opposition to the meeting of the Congress.
The Journal de Constantinople contains a long
article on the subject of the execution of the Treaty
of Parii, which may be regarded as expressing the
.feelings of the new Ottoman Ministry. --ft agrees
in the main. with. the information received by the
last Mail,• on the subject of the
,reply to the note
sent brlVl;,Thouvenel,.. According to this article,
the Porte considers it has no right to dornan'd the
evacuation of its territory. That course is a stipu-
lation, of the:Treaty .of Paris, the execution of
which does not belong to it' more' than to the other
Powers who signed tbe..Treaty, which the above
journal declares.must be carried out by the mutual
accord of all the contracting parties:
Respecting the frontier dispute, we glean the
following from the. Paris corres pod en i of the 'Nord:
—According to the despatchesfrorn Count Persigny,
Earl Clarendon, in refusing to submit the difficul
ties relative to 'Bolgrad, to a Congress, relies
upon the 20th artielenf the Treaty of Peace,. which
says, '".Delegates of fila contracting powers will fix
in its details, the-line of the new frontier." This
!article not having been specified that the subject
would be
.reported. to Congress, like the ques
tions of the Danube 'and the Principalities, Earl
Clarendon concludes that the commissioners have
full powers to decide the details of this rectifica-
tion -a frontiers at Constantinople. I ought to
add that the Engligh -Cabinet has shown Itself
within the last few days disposed to examine the
means of reconciliation proposed by the French

Goven men t.
An article in the Constantinople Journal reveals

the helpless position to which Turkey is. reduced

by her 'Allies. The article in question, which is a
reproduction of the argument or the Turkish
Government in reply to M de Thouvenel's last
note, declines, in the name of Turkey, to give any
decision at ail on the question of occupation or
evacuation. The Christian Powers must settle
among themselves whether the Turkish territories
shall continue to be occupied or not, and as
England and Austria are on the spot, and refuse to
go, they may stay.
There are two opinions, it appears, among French
financiers, as to the probability of the success of
the Russian railways. The concession was not
made to M. Emile Pereire and his associates until
after it had been refused by MM. Rothschild,
Mallet, and others. The latter before coming to a
decision, sent M. de St. Julien, an eminent en.
gineer, to Russia, and it was upon his report that
they resolved to have nothing to do with the
scheme. M. E. Pereire has shown himself more
enterprising, and people who know him well think
he has had the prudence to make certain stipula-
tions which will enable him to modify or postpone
the execution of the engagements he has entered
into, according to circumstances. _ .

An arrival froth the Cape of Good Hope with
dates to the latter end of September, brings the
satisfactory intelligence that the Kaffir excitement
had died almost quite away. The exposed divisions
of the colony, however, have been strengthened by
military forces beyond all precedent, and the troops
at Cape Town, and the regiments expected from
England, were to be marched to the frontier to be
ready for any emergency.. The danger is, that
being there without anything to do, they may
themselves create the emergency.
It is reported at Berlin that Prussia would
rather relinquish her rights over Neufchatel, pro.
vided an honourable retreat were opened- to her hy-
the enlargement of the political prisoners. If the
contrary position• eheuld be persisted in Prussia
will act decisively. _ _ _

A letter from Trieste,. of the 22nd inst.; in the
Emancipation, of Brussels, says :—" The fete and
illuminations were to have taken place yesterday
in honour of the. Emperors The fora, however,
showed so little respect for royalty as to blow in
the sea the imposing triumphal arch erected on the
San Carlo mole. The same gale blew down from
the top of the citadel the scaffolding which had
been erected for the electric light. By the same
wi
nd the maritime promenade of the Lloyd's fleet,
which was to have conveyed the Emperor and
Empress to Miramare and the aqueduct of San

Croce, was prevented."
We have received New York advices to the 18th
ult., by the steam ship Canada,•which arrived here
last .night. The details of the news, together with
the letter of our 'special correspondent at New
York-, will be found in another part of to day's
paper. The' news is of trifling moment. The
French steamer Le Lyonnais, hence for Hayre,was
ran into by the barque Adriatic, and so badly
injured that she could not be kept afloat. The pas-
sengers and crew escaped in boats and on a raft.

One of the boats Las been picked up, and the
steamer Uarion despatched in search of the
others.

Monetary affairs begin to manifest. an improved
feeling. The posititionnf things on the Continent,
and-tbe greater ease' in all the European Money
Markets, indicate that the pressure, if it has not in a
great degree passed, has sensibly subsided; and the
future will be regarded_with_ much interest; owing
to the anxiety occasioned by the late critical junc-
ture of'events. Embarrassing as they have proved,
they have,•nevertheless, not created any great dis•
ruption in the trade; but, if they were to be con-
tinuous, they must produce some distress. Al ready
the effect of the 'high rate if money is perceived
by diminished business, and if the extreme
:point
of discount had been attained, 'it could not 'hiys
failed to exercise a more depressing influence
than that which is now experienced. It is, at the
same time„ gratifying to have observed the general
stability of commerce, and to find. that the mer-
cantile commuity have so regulated their operations
_that_the_undue stringency which -has-existed during
the last two months, has not led to any serious
involvement, although business has been partially
paralysed.
__The Bank Returns, which we published on
Saturday, are of a satisfactory character. The
settlement" Of the Foreign Stock and Railway
Share Accounts, together with the provision which
.is being,made.for bills arriving at maturity on the
4th instant, have occasioned an increased enquiry
ifor money in Lothbard Street, and at the Bank of
England. On this account, and owing_ to the fact
--that the directors did not lower their terms on
Thursday, the charges " out of doors" are kept
up,'-•and Most parties are compelled to sub
mit to, 6/ and 7 per cent as the minimum
'fates.' • At preient; as is always the case
when a change of feeling sets in, the Money
Market is sensitive, and influenced to an undue
extent by any trifling adverse circumstances that
may arise. , The advices from the continental
money markets are of a elveering_character, and-at
Paris corAfence is rapidly gaining ground. The
French Funds are rising, and investments in rentes
and railway shares are being prosecuted with
vigour. Very Mlle businegs..•hoWever, is trans
acted, and _the favourable influence of the Bank
Refurn is in part neutralised by the increased
demand for- money in the Discount Market,
owing to th.i heavy payments in connection with
the Stock Exchange settlement and the re-
quirements of the • fourth of the month
On Saturday the market exhibited a further
tendency towards improvement, but the dealers
Lard bccn rely apathetic, and a small
advance, which was produced immediately after the
commencement or business, in consequence of the
favourable Bank of England returns,
ported. The high prices which the funds have:.
now attained no doubtprodUce a degree of nervous-
nessin some of . those -who- have operated for the
rise, and a few-sales in-order to realise pry fits have,
consequently, been effected. In this manner the
benefieial effect, which . would otherwise have
been observable from the improved -position of
the .Bank of -England, was partially neutralised,
whilst the urgentderriand for money in all &part-
ments likewise checked, the upward movement. Con-
sols opened at 044 9 for money, and 941 4 for the 4th
instant, and 8511 for the 10th of January. Sub ,
sequently a limited 'business Was transacted, and
at the official' close a decline. of .4
per cent. was
exhibited. After*" houi-s" they were. 941 buyers
for December, 951 4 for..Tanuary., The New Three
per Cents. were 939 and Reduced Annuities were
934 to ft,.which is in both instances 'a slight ad
vance compared with previous values. Exchequer
Bills were also rather firmer, namely, 3s to ss.
premium.- • The Bonds were about. 984 a; and East
India Bonds under 1,0001 3s prem.

stances, many improvements lave taken place in
