Although we have received circumstantial accounts from
New Or'vans of the battle and capture of Santa Anna, there
are still debuts in the city of this important event. A suffi-
cient time has elapsed for the American Government to have
received a courier from the theatre of war, with the official de-
spatches on the subject.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning 9284
for the Account, have since been done at 92k sellers, owing
to a heavy sale being effected—Reduced 91 ; Exchequer Bills

A person complaining to Dr. Parr, " I believe I
am inoculated with dulness to-day," Parr replied—" Indeed !
I always thought you had it the natural way." Another,
thinking to flatter the Doctor, by saying_"• It would require
many volumes to contain all you know"—" It would require
many more to contain all you do not," was Parr's uncourteous
answer.
CHEAP KNOWLEDGE.—In one Highland parish,
by the report of the Assembly's Committee, the schoolmaster
has three guineas per annum. In 11 parishes in Argyllshire
the salaries are divided into three, and probably do not amount
to above 10/. or 11/. each. In three counties there arc sala-
ries as low as Si., 171., 19/. ; the salary and fees together,
19/., 201., 231., 28/. What must be the effect of this?
EMIGRATION.--The American packet ship West-
minster (a new and splendidly fitted up vessel), G. Moore,
commander, was hauled out of the St. Katharine Docks on
Saturday morning, with 200 passengers on board, of whom
about 160 are in the steerage, and the remainder in the cabin.
They consist of agricultural labourers, tradesmen of small
capital, mechanics, labourers, and others who intend settling
in the United States and Canada. There are a great many
women and children on board. A majority of the farming
labourers are from the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, and
their passage is paid by the parishes to which they have be-
come chargeable. The Westminster, which is bound for New
York, carries a large cargo of silk and other dry goods, and
100,000/. in specie, part of a loan of two millions, contracted
for in this country at four per cent. interest, for the establish-
ment of a new bank in America.
MELANCHOLY CASE OF SUICIDE.—Saturday an
inquest was held at the Black Lion Tavern, Church-street,
Chelsea, on the body of Mr. Robert Sangwell, aged 51, a
tradesman. Mrs. Sarah Sangwell, the widow of the deceased,
stated that her lamented husband had been in a desponding
state of mind for some months previous to his death. The
change was, in witness's opinion, in consequence of his pecu-
niary affairs having become niuch embarrassed. The whole
of Thursday he was unusually agitated in his mariner. Wit-
ness endeavoured to soothe his mind, .when he stared wildly
at her and exclaimed, " Sarah, my life ! I was a wild hus-
band to you when first we met; but God will repay you for
such to-morrow." During Thursday night he got up re-
peatedly from his bed and paced the room in a very perturbed
state. On Friday morning witness left the deceased in his
bed-room for the purpose of arranging her domestic affairs,
and on her return, in less than twenty minutes, she was shocked
at discovering her unfortunate husband suspended by his
neckerchief to one of the rails of the bedstead. Although her
feelings upon the occasion were trying beyond description, she
had sufficient nerve to run down stairs for a knife, with which
she severed the handkerchief: her husband appeared lifeless.
Mr. Phillips, a surgeon, attended in about ten minutes, and
declared life extinct. By the Coroner—" My husband had
attempted self-destruction before." Verdict of " Temporary
derangement."
