sented a collected, ruddy, and healthy appearance ; but
more than once during the trial he betrayed symptoms
of sill existing insanity.
Sarah Bunney was then called. On her appearance
(her face still strongly seamed, the effects of the wdunds
inflicted) the prisoner fixed his eyes upon her, and burst
into tears. She deposed as follows:—'•I was married to
the prisoner in 1845, and lived at the Rainbow public-
house in High- street, • Bordes!ey, Birmingham.
We lived together for three days after our
marriage. We were married on the • Tuesday,
but I did not observe anything particular in his manner
until FA idity. On the evening of that day we went to
bed as usual. Thtween two and three o'clock on Satur-
day morning I was disturbed by finding my husba.id
very- restless. He sat up in bed, and appeared much
c -rifwed. He took his clotlong from under the pillow,
and I saw he had a knife in his hand. When I observed
this I got out of bed, and went towards the door. I first
tall iried to get the knife out of his hand, but I could
not succeed. Before I went • the door the prisoner
wiataded his own throat with a knife. When I went to
the sloor, he wounded me. He said, •We have lived
together, we have loved together, and we will die toge-
ther.' I found the door locked. He wounded me with
a ponknife in the throat, the face, and other parts of
the.body. I fell on the floor. I had not at first my
senses, but I recovered myself a little, and ran to the
vbindovv. I broke a pane of glass, and cried out, Mur-
der,' when somebody brought a ladder to the window.
My husband also called out, Obi see what they have
done !' When the w;ndow was opened my husband
got through. It was on the second floor that we
slept. Mr. White and Robert Fletcher came, and
also Mr. Archer, the surgeon. The morning after
our marriage the prisoner said he thought all his
friends were against him. His manner was much ex-
cited." . .

M. Justice PATTESON asked the prisoner if he wished
to aik his wife any questions?—The prisoner (almost
" laughing outright") replied that he had none.
Mr. John Archer, surgeon, of Deritend, Birmingham,
beim; sworn, stated that he was called in to Mrs. Bunney
on the morning in question, and found her with a
w( u id 2I inches long on the throat, and another wound
2i inches long on the cheek. The wounds were inflicted
vtith a sharp instrument. He afterwards saw the pri-
soner at Fletcher's. He had a superficial wound in the
throat, one of his fingers was slightly cut, and there
were several slight stabs on the chest. The prisoner ap-
elred to be in a state of great excitement. He said,
"see how they Lave served me; they brought me three
days ago from a distance to be married." Heard him in
conversation with other persons, and from his manner
thought the prisoner at the time was insane. Ile at-
tended Mrs. Bunney for several weeks afterwards. The
wound in the throat was i!angerous.
The evidence of several medical men azt to the pri-
soner's state of mind was then taken. They statcd that
he was decidedly insane.
The jury immediately Acquitted the prisoner on the
ground of insanity.

LEEDS, Marten 27.
Swim EXCOANGE.—Appearances were a little better in the early
part of the week, but the improirement was not maintained, and
business has beets dull for the last two or three days, with declining
prices where sales were pressed ; but the general disposition among
shareholders appears to be to avoid as much as possible any unne-
cessary depreciation by urgent present sales, while at the same time
any improvement would at once bring out a considerable supply of
stock. The sales are—East Lancashire, New, 395. p.—Ditto, New

EXPORTATION OF GRAIN.---The high prices of
grain on the Continent are causing no little bustle in the
grain-trade in Lei' It. Another ship was chartered on Wednes-
day by a mercantile house, to load wheat for Antwerp with
oh di,p itch ; and .0 anxious are merchants to take aUvantaga
of the start in the prices on the continent, that a vessil
which arrived on Thursday in the roads, with about 1,0
quarters of wheat from Pomerania, received orders on Thaw
day night to proceed to Belgium with her cargo. Another,
and rather an important feature in the present state of the
grain trade is, that many of the parties who entered into
winter contracts for the shipment of grain at first open water
to Leith, have been giving orders to their foreign friends,
through factors here, to resell their purchases at the better
prices obtainable for other markets, such as France, Holland,
and Belgium ' • and this has already been done to tome extent.

Every cellar and room that can be procured is filled, and they
subsist in common, on whatever they c anet by beggill

[A DVERT/SEMENT.]—A MPUTATION OF Two LEGS
PREVENTED AND CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—EI.
tract of a letter, dated Roscommon, Feb. 19, 1847 Mr. Ryan, pro-
prietor of the hotel next door to me, had too very bad legs; one with
eight ulcers on it, the other with three. After spending seine time
in Dublin with several eminent medical men, he left with the choice
,f one of the two alternatives—to have both legs amputated, or die.
Ou h s way home he met with a gentleman in the coach, who re-
commended him Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which he used, and
by their means is now quite well.— (Signed) CHARLES Tom!, Pro-
prietor of the Roscommon7ournal.' " Fold by all druggists, an"
