THE MILITIA.

The two regiments of militia which have been quar-
tered in Newry barracks—namely, the Fermanagh and
hart of the Warwickshire Militia, will be removed at the
end of this week. The destination of the Fermanagh Re-
giment is Dublin, as at present determined, and that of
the Warwickshire Militia Monaghan. These regiments
will be replaced in Newry by the 2d Lanca.hire Militia.
The statement that the Royal Glamor;an Militia Re-
giment bad volunteered for service in the West Indies
was a mistake. The regiment has stated its readiness to
serve wherever its services may be required, but not
vepecially in the \Vest Indies.

reduced the price of bread Id. per loaf ; the bet bread
is now gelling at 80. per loaf, and seconds at Bd. It
is generally remarked at Oxford, that when wheat rises
3d. or 4d. per quarter, breed rises itnmediAtely 1,1. the
loaf, but before they will sink it, the price of wheat must
be from 6s. to Bs. lower.

DISAPPEARANCS OF AN EDINBUBGII CLERGYMAN.

named Jandot, for murder and robbery.r The circein-
stances of the case, which have already been briefly
touched on in the Messev,ger, were peculiar :—At a late
hour in the evening of the 6th Oct. last, an inhabitant
of Saint Gemain-du-Plains happened to 'be walking near
a bridge over the Nasey, when be perceived a ma in a
light cart drive on to the bridge, remove something
heavy from the vehicle, throw it into the river, and then
drive off rapidly. His suspicions being excited, he got
a neighbour to examine the river with him, and they
found that what the man bad thrown into the water was
the dead body of a boy, about 12 years of age ; they
found also, from a cord tied
.tightly round his neck, that
he had been strangled. Inquiries having been made, it
turned oat that the boy was the son of an innkeeper,
named Vannier, of Chalons, and that he had been sent
with the cart to convey a traveller from that city
to Dole. It was also ascertained that, on the fol-
lowing day, a man had been arrested atsance, klanziat, a en_
lage at some • •
dit on suspicion of being a thief, he
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 bad 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•
villy, he had agreed with the boy, who was returning
home with the cart, to give him lfr. 25c. to convey him
to Chalons, and that they had been seen together in the
vehicle only a veryshort time before the body was thrown
into the river. The prisoner, who was unable to deny his
guilt, was convicted by the jury, and condemned to
death. On hearing the verdict, he uttered loud cries,
and, when the sentence was pronrunced, he exclaimed,
" Oh, my children ! lam condemned to death !"
