HALF-PAST ONE.

Since the report of the Russian fleet going to make its ap-
pearance before Constantinople has entirely vanished, as
well as the great warlike preparations in the Black Sea, the
British Funds continue very firm—indeed, at present, there is
little to fear from the threats of Russia—she has plenty in
hand to employ her in the East.
Consols continue buoyant at 9411. for the Account, and 94

day about 20,0001. Reduced, at 9n. Exchequer Bills, 69

THE MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—Various
statements have been mode relative to the intentions of
Government in this matter ; the middle of January, and not
earlier, is, we understand from good authority, the appointed
time.—Dublin Monitor.

The Mayor of Dieppe has appointed a commission
to examine into the best means of improving the steam com-
munication between that port and England.
BARBAROUS MURDER.—On Saturday a deep
sensation was created in the city by the report of a woman
being murdered in the Canongate by her own husband. It
appears that the parties had been living unhappily together
for some time past, from jealousy on the part of the husband.
On Friday night some of the neighbours observed him beating
her with a stick, and on Saturday morning, we understand, he
was observed to beat her again most unmercifully by a little
girl, about nine years of age, a niece of one of them, who was
living in the house. The report of the murder reached the
officers of the police in the course of Saturday forenoon ;
and on going down to the house, a shocking spectacle
presented itself • the body was all over black with blows
and kicks ; both arms were fractured in two places ; as
was also the collar-bone ; and three severe contusions
were found on the head ; but the features of the face were
uninjured. The husband, whose name is Higgins, made
an attempt to escape, but he was apprehended soon after;
he then attempted to bribe the criminal officer to allow him to
escape, by the offer of whisky—of course without success.
He is between thirty and forty years of age. The woman was
about thirty, of rather a pleasing appearance. From the aspect
of their house and their shop in the Canongate, where they
sold whisky, it would seem that their circumstances were re-
spectable and decent, They were both natives of Ireland ;
and it is a singular fact, that the mother and sister of the mur-
dered woman came over to see her last week, and were wit-
nesses to part of her husband's ill usage. They are at present
in the city. Higgins has undergone several examinations, and
stands remanded for further investigation.--Edinburgh
Courant.

THE LATE HURRICANE.—In the county of
Hertford vast numbers of trees have been torn up by the roots,
and carried in some instances to a considerable distnce.
There are but few parks or estates in which tt•_:; mischief is
not very considerable. In the town of iertford the people
were rocked in their beds; many tiles were removed from the
roofs, a quantity• of window panes broken, many shutters
blown down and torn of, and a considerable degree of alarm
created. The mail was obliged to come round by Herting-
fordbury, in consequence of a tree falling across the road by
the Sele Farm just as the mail came up. Very fortunately
no accident took place. At St. Alban's many houses were
partially unroofed, and many stacks of chimneys blown down.
At Harpenden a poor man was killed in his bed by the falling
down of a stack of chimneys. The tops of many stacks of
wheat have been entirely carried away. The effects of the
storm were very severely felt in Watford and its neighbour-
hood. About three o'clock one of the boxes placed upon the
London and Birmingham railway, for the use of the police-
men, and into which one of the policemen, named Frederick
Dragwater, had retired from the inclemency of the weather,
was blown completely over, and, with the man in it, hurled
down the bank to the ground, a distance of 24 feet. The
box fell with the entrance downwards, and the policeman, who
was very much bruised and injured by the fall, lay in this
condition until daylight, when he was found bleeding and in-
sensible. In the Rarl of Clarendon's park, the Grove, a
great many fine trees were blown down,' and one large fir
tree, with a remarkably heavy top, was torn out of the ground
by the roots, and dashed over a fence four feet high into the
road, where it was broken into two pieces. At Tottenham,
Middlesex, a large factory, nearly in a state of completion,
was entirely blown down.—Hertford Reformer.
A poor man, named William Gray, fell down on
Tuesday in Red Lion-street, Holborn, and instantly expired.
He had a loaf of bread in his possession at the time, and it was
stated that he had just been to the workhouse in Gray's Inn.
