A coachman of the name of Frazer residing in Shaded
street, has been committed for trial for having murdered'
his wife. It appears from the information which has been
obtained concerning the alleged murder, that Frazer and his
wife were often at strife with each other, on account of the
latter, in particular, being much addicted to spirituous
li-
quors. The noise of quarrelling and fighting, it is saial.
was heard in their house on Saturday night, when some ei
the neighbours went in and found Mrs. Frazer lying on the
floor, complaining of having been severely beaten by her
husband. A noise was again heard about one o'clock in
the morning. About three o'clock, Frazer awakened a
' neighbourin,* family, and told them his wife was dead, and
that he had found her dying on the floor when he awoke-
The husband denies all knowledge of the manner in which
his wife came by her death, but the body underwent all
examination yesterday, the result of which, we understand,
tends to establish the fact that her death had been caused
by violent kicks or strokes with some blunt instrument on
the side. There is little appearance of injury externally+
but two of her ribs are broken, and there is a Wound on
the liver which must have caused instant death. There

were numerous livid marks on the face and on other pats
of the body, and a deep gash on the right temple ; and
there were also several marks of violence on the nea•
When the Captain of Police and the officers were searehins
Frazer's house after the body was found, one of the children
pointed out a rope which was secreted, and said it had been
used by his father in attempting to strangle his mother.
Captain Miller afterwards discovered, hidden under some
straw, a cap saturated with blood, and other articles of
dress also stained with blood, which, it is alleged, the dc'
ceased had worn the day before. When these were found,
it was evident that some one had been washing them, as
they were quite wet. The opinion of the two surgeons
who examined the body of the deceased, after Frazer h 0 -
alarmed the neighbours, to whom he said his wife.

dying when he awoke, was that Mrs. Frazer, at tha'
must have been some hours dead. A child of the ps
says he saw his father, when abusing his mother, wk;ti a
knife in his hand.—Jersey Argus.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 24th inst. contain'
the following, of the sth, from Constantinople:—" A courier
from London has at length arrived at the British Embassy: i$
is not known whether he brings to Lord Ponsonby the instruc-
tions relative to Mr. Churchill's affair, which he was expectinr, '
so impatiently. The Noble Lord keeps profound silence, and
up to yesterday at noon, had not had any explanations with tho
Porte. A sensible degree of moderation is remarked in big
proceedings, and he has already broken through the retirement
which he has for some time observed. He has recommenced
direct relations with the Porte, and the interpreter of the Bri"
tish Embassy has lately come there twice a day. The net
Reis Effendi has not so much talent as his predecessor, but be
is not subject to any foreign influence ; he is the mute execiP
tor of his master's will, or of the subordinate functionaries at'
tached to him. Lord Ponsonby appears to have gained the
latter over to his side by all sorts of sacrifices. He has not►
however, regained his former influence, because he is 11°:
seconded in every department, and because the Sultan bag
lately called to his council a man of much talent, who has is
former times shown himself hostile to England. This person
is the famous Hassan Eglein, formerly keeper of the Divan at
Tripoli. He has free access to the Sultan, and is treated with
particular distinction, although he is at present only the edit°
of the Afoniteur Ottoman."

A Toulon letter, of the 23d inst., contains the fol'
lowing :—" Admiral Hugon has sailed from Tunis, with the
Jena,- Sainti Petri, Montebello, Ville de Marseille and Scipioo,
of the line, and Het ~wine frigate, and the Diligent sloop, ill
the track of Tahir Pacha, who having learnt that the bay
was blockaded by a French squadron, which had orders to
oppose the landing of any troops within the RegeneY'
changed his plan rather than enter into a conflict with France.
and went to Tripoli, where he was able to land the reinforce:
merits for the Princes of Barbary in permanent hostility Wit'
the French. Tahir Pacha is now at Tenedos, whither Ad'
miral Hugon is about to proceed also. The Prince de Join'
yule will arrive at Toulon on the 4th of next month, and coy
bark in the Iphigenie frigate, which will sail on the 6th for the
Levant,"
MADRID, JULY 20.—Ministers reckon already
twenty-three provinces in which their candidates or moderato
men have been returned. They calculate that they hal°
already a majority of forty out of the elections hitherto ;ascer-
tained. Cadiz has selected MM. Isturiz, Galiano, Mendizab"
and Badillo ; another ballot will be necessary for MM. P°-
mecq and Mantes de Oca, the two remaining candidates. A
is not doubted that M. Martinez de la Rosa will be return,'"
at Grenada. These Ministerial advantages are, however, to!
certain degree counterbalanced by the unfavourable disP°sl.
tions of Malaga, which, in spite of Count Dunadio's effortsi
will certainly return exaltados, and those of Albacete le
Saragossa, where the elections will be mixed, as will he the
case in Estremadura. The elections of Barcelona will a°
commence before the sth of August.
By the Toronto Albion we learn that the son '4
Sir A. B. King, of Dublin, has been drowned in UPPei
Canada. The deceased was seen running down the vrher
and plunging into the water with his clothes on. Only tel
minutes elapsed before he was got out. The act was alleged
to have been perpetrated in a fit of despondency on hears*
of the death of his mother. It will be recollected that the
father of the deceased was Lord Mayor of Dublin at the
of his late Majesty's visit in 1821, in commemoration of allic
event lie was created a Baronet.
ANECDOTE OF HAYDN.—Haydn, on his first
visit to this metropolis, domiciled at the house of Bland, Pi:
music-publisher in High Holborn, who used to relate the '„,
lowing story :—" When I went over to the Continent,
secure the services of Hadyn at the concerts of Salomon,
was introduced to him while he was in the act of shaving 11.11:
self, an operation by no means the pleasantest in the warldn
even when one has good tools ; but it happened that IlaYe
was badly off in that respect, and feeling the inconvenice
deeply, said, Ah, Mr. Bland, if I had but an English razor: ,
would give one of the best compositions I ever wrote for,iti;
I immediately, without waiting to reply, posted off to ray 100:
and brought my best pair. Presenting them to the great 011.'1,
he put into my hands one of his quartetts in manuscript, Whic„
I afterwards published, and used to term it my Razor Qua'
