THE MILITIA.

The two regiments of militia which have been
qu
tered in Newry barracks—namely, the Fermanaghaltird.
part of the Warwickshire Militia, will be removed at the
end of this week. The destination of the Fermanagh Rp.
giment is Dublin, as at present determined, and that of
the Warwickshire Militia Monaghan. These regiments
will be replaced in Newry by the 2d Lancashire Militia.
The statement that the Royal Glamorgan Militia Its.
giment bad volunteered for service in the West Indies
was a mistake. The regiment has stated its readiness to
verve wherever its services may be required, but not
especially in the West Indies.

PRICE OF BREAD.—The bakers at Oxford yestrklay
reduced the price of bread 4d. per loaf ; the be:t bread
is now selling at B.'2d. per loaf, and seconds at Bd. It
is generally remarked at Oxford, that when wheat rises
3s. or 43. per quarter, bread rises immediately 13. the
loaf, but before they will sink it, the price of wheat must
be from 63. to Be. lower.
DISAPPEARANCE OF AN EDINBURGH CLERGYMAN.—
Considerable anxiety has, we believe, been occasioned in
certain circles in Edinburgh, by the unaccountable dis-
appearance of the incumbent of an Episcopalian chapel
in this city. The rev. gentleman, who became settled
here at a comparatively recent period, left his residence
about the middle of last month, and has never since
been heard of.—ScoVish Press.
TRIAL FOR MURDER AND ROBBERY.—The Court of
Assizes of the Saone-et-Loire three' lays ago tried a man,
named Jandot, for murder and robbery. The circum-
stances of the case, which have already been briefly
touched on in the Messenger, were peculiar :—At a late
hour in the evening of the sth Oct. last, an inhabitant
Saint Gemain-du-Plaine happened to be walking near
a brif
go over the NassYr when he perceived a man in a
light cart drive on to the bridge, remove something
h .avy from the vehicl.e, throw it into the river, and then
drive off rapidly. His suspicious being excited, he got

turned mat that the boy was the son of an innkeeper,
named Vannier, of Chtt!ong, and that he had been sent 1
with the cart to convey a traveller from that city
) Dole. It was also ascertained that, on the fol-
lowirt day, a man had been arrested at lAlanziat, a

vil-
lage at Borne distance, on suspicion of being a thief,
having endeavoured to sell a horse and light cart for
whatever they would fetch. Vannier went to see the
horse and cart, and recognised them as his ; and on the
man in custody being searched, a knife and pockethand-
kerchief, which hail belonged to the murdered boy, were
found. It then appeared certain that it was he who had
murdered the boy, and the matter was subsequently
placed beyond all doubt by the discovery, that, at Na-
„illy, he had agreed with the boy, who was returning
home with the cart, to give him Ifr. 25c. to convey him
to Chalon?, and that they had been seen together in the
vehicle only a very short time before the body was thrown
into the river. The prisoner, who was unable to deny his
guilt, waA convicted by the jury, and condemned to
-death. On hearing the verdict, he uttered loud cries,
d whoa the sentence was pronounced, he exclaimed,
