POLL GE INTELLIG ENCE.—.Tan, 1.

GUILDHALL—AIderman Humphery, on tak-
ing his seat on the bench, called our reporter's
attention to tht . following extraordinary prophecy
which appearei I in " Zadkiel's Almanac for 1861,"
in reference to, his late Royal Highness the Prince
Consort :—The
.full moon nearest to the ingress of
the sun in Ari es
.is 2h. 12m. p.m., 26th March,,
1861. This lut 'Litton is remarkable, because the
same sign aseen, -Is as at the ingress, and very nearly
the same degree.
Again we find Saturn retrograde
in the ascendant, and Jupiter in the twelfth, with
Mars again fixree.lY burning in the tenth house.
Some very pug oacio,..is feelings are displayed by the
ruling Powers. The revenue fails, and turmoil arises
on that question.. A royal marriage is now indicated
by Venus, lady of the tenth house, being in exact
sextile aspect to Mas. Mercury, in the eighth, pro
motes much mortality during the spring amongst
children, and many deaths by catarrhs, coughs, and
asthma. The stationary position of Saturn in the
third degree of Virgo in May, following upon this
lunation, will be vt 'ry evil for all persons born on or
near the 26th of A ugui,t ; among the sufferers I
regret to see the worthy Prince Consort of these
realms. Let such pt ‘rsons pay scrupulous attention
to health. Some sini7ular calamity for London is
threatened about the
Ist of August, when Saturn
comes to square off Uranus in this figure. It may
be by tumults or the death of numbers by fall of
some building, &c. The evil will be sudden and
singular."

SIR JAMES FERGUSSON.—We regret to state that
Sir James Fergusson, M.P., has sustained an accident while
hunting, his horse having inflicted a severe wound upon his
head, and that the hon. baronet is temporarily incapacitated
from the discharge of public business. His friends in Ayr-
shire will be glad to learn that hie injuries are not of such a
nature as to confine him much longer to his room..—Ayr-
shire Express.

THE WE A THER..— Galignanisays:—At six o'clock
yesterday morning tho thermometer of M. Chevallier stood
at 3 7-10ths below zero Centigrade (25 1-3 d Fahrenheit)
and at noon 1 5-10ths above zero C. (341 F.) The ice on
the large lake in the Bois do Boulogne was yesterday
thronged with skaters, and among them were many ele-
gantly dressed ladies. A number of the fair sex were also
seen gliding along in small sledges of various farms, orna-_
mental with much taste.

ANNUAL RETURN OF THE STOCK OF COTTON IN
LIVERPOOL,—LIVERPOOL, Dec. 31.—The, returns of the
stock of cotton in hand in this port, up to the 31st Decem-
ber, have just been published. From these figures the
actual stock of cotton in hand turns out to be about
90,0 0 bales in excess of the estimated. Of this excess
74,000 bales are American. This is partly accounted for by
large quantity resold here by spinners. The following is
the stock in hand—American : Sea Island, 7,031; Stained
ditto, 32 ; Upland Bowed, 81,690; Mobile, 48,869; Now
Orleans, 141,688—total American, 279,310. Other Coun-
tries : Pernam and Paraiba, 11,893; Bahia and Maceio,
13,480 ; Maranham, 1,880 ; Egyptian, 9,492 ; West India,
328; Carthagena, 11 ; Surat, 295,000; Madras, 11,139;
African, 32—grand total, 622,595 bales.

MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A frightful
murder has just been committal at a lonely village, called
Graigwen, about two miles from Llanfair, and eight from
Welshpool. It appears that some men with a thrashing
machine happened to be passing along the road on Monday
evening, and were attracted by the singular proceedings of
a man named Ismael Jones, and called the attention of Mr.
Thomas, surgeon, of Llanfair, who just then came up on
horseback, to the man's movements. Jones had a rope
around his neck, and seemed to be trying to hang himself to
the bough of a tree, when they prevented his accomplishing
his object. On nearing the house Mr; Thomas perceived
toe body of a woman, with her skull cleft in two, lying on
the ground. Jones confessed that it was his wife, and that
he had cut her head open with a spade which was near, and
intended to hang himself. Ho was speedily secured and
conveyed to Montgomery Gaol. The inquest was formally
opened on Wednesday, and adjourned to Saturday.
