A French squadron consisting of a frigate, Iphigenie,
two brigs, and two steamers, under Rear-Admiral Du
giesne, were lying at Carthagena on the 23th ult. It
appears that the French have some claims upon the New
Granadian Government, for outrages upon French citi-
zens at Panama and Tobago, which these wretched
people will not listen to, as they recognise no law but by
the cannon's mouth.

TRIAL OF ALEXANDER CUNNINGHAM FOR WIFE
MURDER.—The trial of Alexander Cunningham for the
murder of his wife on the 22d of December last, at Gir-
van, in Ayrshire, took place on Wednesday and Thurs-
day last, before Lordi Ivory and Cockburn, at the Ayr
Circuit Court. It was charged against the prisoner in
the indictment that on the 22d of December, 1853, in
or near a garden situated behind the workshop occupied
by James Hamilton, weaver, at Girvan, he shot at Janet
Cunningham, who was then in the workshop, and mor-
tally wounded her, the said shot having entered her
chest, in consequence whereof she soon thereafter died ;
and that he had previously conceived and evinced malice
against the said Janet Cunningham. There were 61
witnesses cited in this case. The jury found the prisoner
guilty, and Lord Cockburn sentenced him to be hanged
on the 11th of May, without holding out to him the least
hope of mercy.

dated December 19, 1853 :—" To Professor Holloway.
Sir,—For twelve years I was afflicted with sores on my
legs and arms, which gradually broke out into ulcerous
wounds, and disabled me from following any of the
active duties of life. I tried a variety of mecicines,
and applied several liniments, without benefit ; but a
friend recommended me to use your ointment and pills,
which completely healed tha wounds and restored me
health, after every other means had failed."—Sold by
