-----
Died, at Elie, Fifeshire, on the 27th ' of
January, in the 90th year of her age, Mrs. Carstairs, late
of Grange. This venerable lady, whose maiden name
was Henderson, was a lineal desendant of the family of
Alexander Henderson, Moderator of the celebrcted Ge-
neral Assembly, 1638, and one of the principal instru-
ments in effecting what has been called the Second Re-
formation of the Church of Scotland. She was one of
a family of five ; and, what is remarkable, all of them
were alive ten months ago—the youngest being in hie
81st year, and their united ages amounting to 425. Mrr.
Carstairs lived universally respected, and has died full of
honour as of years.
There was a heavy failure announced in Liver-
pool yesterday, the first of any consequence that has oc-
curred here for some time. —Liverpool Times of Tuesday.
TIIE MATILDA.—The Matilda, of this port,
from the Mediterranean, is still missing. Some hopes
were at one time entertained that she had been driven in a
northerly direction, and would effect her voyage home in
safety ; but there is too much reason to fear the worst.

GRAND DEMONSTRATION AT GLASGOW.—
The Anti-Corn-law Association of Glasgow have an-
nounced a Grand Demonstration to take place here on

leading friends of the cause in Manchester, are expected
to attend on the occasion.—Glasgow Argus.
IMPROVEMENTS AT NEWCASTLE.—There
has been planned and built nine new streets, extending
collectively to one mile and the sixth part of another ; and
these cent tin three extensive markets, under one general
roof, which, With the fourteen entrances from the sur-
rounding streets, comprise an area of upwards of two
acres; they contain also a Central Exchange, since con-
verted into one of the most splendid news-rooms and
coffee-rooms in Europe; a new theatre and new dispen-
sary; a music .hall, a lecture-room, incorporate company's
hall, two chapels, two aucion-marts; ten inns and twelve
public-houses ; four banks, forty private dwellings of the
first class, and three hundred and twenty five houses with
:bops ; the whole of which already realizes a rental of
18,000/. a-year, and when completed will realize, according
to valuation, forty thousand, 'wxclusive of many valuable
properties sold, such as the markets, the theatre, two banks,
and two chapels. In one word, the new property already
created by Mr. Grainger's vast conceptions, first formed
in 1833, and still in progress of extension, has been valued
at 995,0001., or one million sterling. —Granrille's Spas
of England.
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE PROM THE FLEET
PatsoN.—Sanday night Sir William Boyd, who has been
confined in the Fleet Prison for debt since November last,
made a second attempt to escape from that place of con-
finement. In both instances, however, his endeavours
were (f. rtunately for the Warden) frustrated. On the
first occasion, Friday last, having dressed himself in female
attire, with bonnet, veil, curls, &c., he managed to pus
through the outer gate. The turnkey, however, suspect-
lag something wrong, followed him as far as Charing-
cross, where, in order, it is presumed, to breathe a purer
atmosphere, be raised his veil, when the turnkey, seizing
the opportunity, stepped forward with, " I beg your par-
don"—madam, be would have said, but for his having at
once recognised in the person of the would-be lady his
truant prisoner, whom be instantly, in as polite a manner
as possible, handed into a cab, and re-conveyed to his old
quarters. Sunday night ho again made a futi:e attempt
to escape in the garb cf a Jew, with false large black
whisker?, a long beard and wig, and his face saturated
with some ingredient which gave his countenance altogether
a peculiarly Jewish cast. llt re again, however, be was
foiled, and the adroitness of the turnkeys was again ap-
parent, as they instantly recognised him on making his
appearance between the gates. He was, quickly stripped
of his ornaments, and conveyed to the strong room, where
the Warden is determined be shall remain so long as he
remains under his jurisdiction.
