TIM MURDER AT JARROW.

Welthew,.the man who murdered his wife at Jarrow,. has
finite recovered from the eUcts of the wounds in.tlicted on
himself. Itt seems that he is a person of an.: extremely
jealous disposition. The itufortutnate woman hadteked out
a small income by keeping a huckster's shop. An Irishman
came to lodge below thiszesidemee some three ox-four weeks

ago, and it appears without the most remote reason for doing
so, IVVelthew became extremely jealous of him., .On Monday
evening; 'smile' children, had bi.en playing about the doors
with bricks; and Weltliew upon returning from his, work,
observing the bricks lying about, had taken it, into his head
that they had been Placed' there by the Irishman, with a
view to an assignation: There is little doubt but that
Welthew and his wire had quarrelled very much after going
to be.d and that thcsn and:there he had determined to mur-
der .her.' One of their children was in bedlwith them ;, and

woman awoke the household by her screams, and. rushedi

harm. He*then. retiumed to the home, and had laid himself
down in a pool. of blood that had flowed from the murdeied
woman. He expresses no regret for the murder of his wife,
and seems tolerably cool and indifferent. Welthew, was.
once a man in a very respectable station in life.

THE Cik.A.N.NRI. FLEEr.---We hear that a spirit of in-
subordination has manifested itself among the ships. at Port-
land, more particularly on board the Hero, 91, screw; Capt.
Geo. H. Seymour. Upwards of 30A of the crew, ilk a. muti-
nous manner, declared that it they, were not granted' shore
leave, they would take it. Xew, while condemning. such
unjustifiable
conduct, there se_erns. some want of discretion
in keeping ships witnin signt of shore and not granting
them, necessary leave. Keep ships moving and, Jack's con-
tented but when continually at anchor in the same place,
ip becomes a prison, and hence the cause, of discontent.
IN-REM ROUTE TO THE WESTERN •STA,TES.--There iS
trite a brisk trade springing up between the ptirts on the
lakes and Great Britain. The, schooner Dean Richmond,
which cleared from Chicago for Liverpool in 1856, inaugu-
rated this trade—a trade which, although in its infancy,
amounted last year to‘ 260,000 dollars, and the value of the
vessels sent, twenty in number, is estimated at 350,000,
dollars. Ten ships have been chartered and loaded by one
firm at Detroit, 11 ichigan. within th,, In.,
