LONDON :
FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1539.

Again, we' had nothing but corn and corn in both. Houses.
The commencement of the business in. the. Lords w 43 a
little enlivened by the Duke ,of RUTLAND presenting peti-
tions in favour of the laws from certain agricultural la-
bourers, Nsho signed them because they wished tb prevint
revolution. How the abolition of the Corn law; weal to
cause revolution., the Noble Duke had not inquired.
A little conversation took place about the duties 'on
foreign fruit, which the growers of fruit a,t bome desire
to be raised. The landlards will have their tax out to
the poor boy's plum cake, or apple pasty, as well as out of the
widow's loaf. . ,
After a very considerable number of petitions had been
presented, prp and con, Lord .FITZWILLIAM moved 'a' 0,
soiution that the Corri-laws had failed to secure that steadi:
ness, in the price of corn, which was essential,to the b4si
interests of the country.' His Lordship made an able speech
in which he dwelt emphatically on the evils of fluctuations
in the price of corn,and on their being a proof that the pre.s!nt
Corn-law had net worked well. In the course of the debate,
he was well supported by Lord RA.DNoR, who contended that
protection injered every; thing it was intended to proteet,
and instanced silk and wool as articles which had flourished
under a
.free trade,.; and our success in these articles
is especially. remarkable,- because our people" hate
had .to contend- against high . prices of food, which
hag operated Against the wool groiteiss and the
silk manufacturer. Lord'l3anrnnAlt
,took the. same side
of therquestion, and: supported his views with_his esual fe-
licity. Thellarrinis.of L A NSDGIY NE, a Minister, supported
Earl -FITZ WILLTA 'Motion, and explained and enforced
hi 3 views, for which he was carnplinaented by the Noble-
This is the . more extraordinary, as Lord
not) as a took a .directly, opposite. view,- and such conflicting
opinions in the .Cabinet portend itsrspeacly. dissialution.
The Duke; of BUCK INGIMNI, -whontlatnia Lord PlTA-
wiu-Lasa for having. learned somethinetriore on the Corn- .
laws than he knew-in 1815, Opposed the -motion. The
Earl of RII-ON, who' raised a not . very honest argu-
ment on the fluctuations: Of the prices of other
commodities as well as the fluctuations in the
prices of corn, and was full of bounce and puff,
did 'the same. The Duke of WELLINGTON was so
well contented with Lord RIPON'S bubble-jock arguments,
that he thought it unnecessary to du much more than state
his adhesion to them. The Duke of RicitateNo, in opposing
the motion, insisted on the expldded fallacy that the laud.
lords were more taxed than the manufactatrer,a,..and yet he
and the rest of the Peers wciitrailot evidence onsthii
point. The Noble , D,ulse_is soinleve_with oppression that he
declared that. if he were not allowed to oppress and
plunder the rest of the people he, would sell his land and
go to a foreign country. • Englandscan well-spare seores'of
such men as the, Duke of ,liteameYn. We were less sur.
prized than grieved to find- Ifisbottot NIELnovaNE takingas
high a tone and'as strongn part in this question as the Duke
of WELtaNc-rort. He tharacterigedthe proposition, to put an
end to all -protection for agriculture—that, is, plundering
one 'class to enrich another—Las the wildest and ,maddest
he had ever heard of. The Secretls out—Lord MEL.
BOURNE" the enemy of flee trade. .
All the arguments, as we think, told one may, yet the
great majority of the votes went another. The number of
Peers who voted.for the motion was just 24, and ortliese
10 were proxies. The number of Peers who 'voted against
the motion-was 224, and of these 113 were proxies. We
shall look with some curiosity for the names of the Peers, and
shall have to congratulate the Church if any Bishops have
voted for the motion. If any have voted agaitist it, they
will be made to answer for it befOre a higher tribunal than
ours. A. more Christian .motion—a • motion better
deserving the support of all the Bishops,' than one
to get rid of the Devil's laws, we cannot conceive ; and
woe to the .Bishops if - they have voted for continuing
the Devil's laws, and woe be to them if they have not voted
to abolish them. We shall look with some impatience for
the list of the contents and non contents to' Lord Ferz..
WILLIAM'S motion. ' Let us add that the Tory slandering
Peers are so strong, that they might have spared the stars-.
ing people:the mortification of knowing that any proxies
had been given on such a question. Now they will tee
with some bitterness that. 113 Peers, inspired' probably by
heavenly wisdom,and therefore having no heed of consulting
human means of getting knowledge, voted that the poor
should remain exposed to all the evils of poverty, hunger,
and lingering death, without having heard the masterly
remarks of Lords FITZWILLIAM, RADNOR, BuouGuast, and

. The Paris Papers of Wednesday state that new dif-
ficultics had prevented the formation of a Liberal
Cabinet. M. QUIZOT had refused 'the Ministry of
Public Instruction, and the office of Ambassador to the
Court of London,, assuring: Marshal SOULT and M.
TRIERS who waited on him on Tuesday evening, that
unless allowed the Departairnt of the Interior he would
decline office altogether. This is the more perplexing,
as M. ODILLON -BARROT9S. party will not support a
Cabiact in which M. GUIZOT shall be appointed
Minister of the Interior, from an apprehension that. he
would oppose all -internal Reforms, and particularly the
Extension of the Suffrake.; rand M. DucHATEt2s
friendship for GUIZOT is Such as to induce . him
to decline taking office with. any Ministry which
does not number the . chief of the Doctrinaires
among its leaders. This division among the candidatei
for office is exceedingly agreeable to the Ministerial
Journals, as it is expected to lead to an union of the
Doctrinaires with Count MOLE'S party. The KING,
however, prudently abstains from any attempt to en-.
courage such hopes, by continuing his attentions to
SorLT and
It is proposed to add two new Ministers to the French
Cabinet. The Department of Enclesias ice! Affairs
and Justice is to be divided into two, and a similar di-
vision is to be made of the Ministry of PubllP: Works
ajul Cimimerce. There being very little chance of M.
DUPEN'S return as President of the Chamber of Deputies,
it is reported SOULT has made hint -,an 'offer of th„,
Department of 'Justice.. Though at the head of no
Party, the great talents,' eaeeztric habits, bad 'temper,
and remarkable powers of sarcasm of the Ex-President
render him formidable to all. We are confident that
Souvr -would rather face a park of artillery than-be
the. object of one of DuriN',; withering sarcasms.
The news from Madrid is of the tith inst. The de-
parturC of Lord Cr-kat:N-66N. for.
,F.pgland was greatly
regretted by the Ministry .and Citizens generally.

tained in these Journals :

Elio, titiategui, and the Baique Generals 15 1101T1 he bid

In a letter from Odessa of the 20th ult., it is stated that
Admiral. Oumanet's squadron of five ships of the line,
three frigates,.four corvettes, -and tvo brigs, sailed on the
previous day from Odessa for the- Bosphorus. A light
flotilla of twenty-four vessels, newly fitted out at Sehato-
pol, and under the command of. Admiral Prince Gorts-
chakof, had sailed for a cruise off the coast of Abasia. It
was chiefly composed of flat-bottOmed vessels.

The correspondent at Naples, of the Augsburg Gazette,
mites on the 281.11 ult. A flotilla is being equipped
with all expedition, which, when ready, will be despatched
to Tripoli, with a declaratioq to the:Bey, that the Govern
ment of the Two Sicilics has determined not to pay him

ATTEMPT OF A HUSBAND TO
MURDER HIS NEWLY-MARRIND WIFE.

For the last few days a good deal of exciternent has prevailed
among the inhabitants of the secluded village of Southgate,
Middlesex, and its vicinity, owing to a deliberate attempt on the
part of a young man, named Richard Whiting, to eut the
throat of a young woman to whom he had only been three
weeks married. It seems that Whiting had latterly express..ed a
great wish to migrate to Australia, and had made application
to the Ree. Mr. Sales, the Rector of the parish. At the same
period, Elizabeth Dwyer, a young woman, whose parents lived
in the adjoining parish, and who had been herself a servant for
some years indifferent families in the neighbourhood, roads a
similar application to the Rev. Gentleman. Up to this time, it
appeared, that Whiting and the young woman Dwyer
were strangers, and unknown to each other.; but some
party' to whom they , had made known their intentions to
leave this country, suggested the propriety of their first
getting married, and brought them together for that pur-
pose. The courtship was short, for en last Monday
three Weeks they were married by the Rev. Mr. Sales, free of
all' expense, and without the usual fees: FroM that time they
continued to live in the house of the husband's father, and ap-
peared to be-very happy, but it seems that 'the wife had since
.their marriage changed her mind, and Made-some objeCtions to
leave this country, and this, it is supposed, led to a determine.--
tioa on. the partof her husband to take away-her life. The fol.
lowing account has since been given by the wife of the occur.
rents . She states that between six and seven o'clock in the
Morning her husband got out of bed and dressed himself, and
then went into the ro.ma oppos:te, . leaving her still, in
bed: After remaining there a few minutes he returned .to
the bed- side, and said " I have got something nice for you,
shut your eyes and open your' mouth." At' . this time he was
standing over her, -and lra.vitig no idea tha: he meant her any
harm she complied with -his request, upon which he' placed his
hand upon her throat, and said " Is' not my hand very cold?"
He then_ proceeded to the. left side of the bed,' and, having
pulled her night-cap over her eyes, he began to, cut her 'throat.
bhe instantly threw up her,left 'hand to save her throat, and
received a severe .wound qn the fingers, as well as a deep one
on throat. She called out for assistance, upon which he
ran'out of the room, andshe endeavoured to tallow him, but he
held the 'door fast. - She then threw up the window, and called
out "Murder," and Mrs: Levenge, a lanndiess in the neigh-
,
bourhood, -came to her aSsistanee.'
The prisoner has undergone an examination before a Bench
of .Magistrates. Dr. 'Wilkinson was present,' and stated that
though the life.of the young woman was not in danger, yet it
would be a-considerable time before she 'would be sufficiently
recovered to be in a fit state to give her evidence against the
prisoner. •
The prisoner, who conducted himself with considerable cool-
ness,, and who strenuously persisted in declaring .that his wife
had inflicted the Wounds herself, was remanded.for further ex,
atnination for a'fortiiiint.'"
