MURDER AT SYDNEY.

From Port Philip accounts of the 2d of June bad
arrived at Sydney, and gait the horrifying particulars
of the murder of Mr. Morton and his servant by the
blacks in the interior in the month of May last. The
Port Philip Gazette of that date contains a letter from
the party who discovered the bodies. Describing the
discovery he says—" A little on the right of
the track I observed what I considered at first
was - a white log, with a large eagle-hawk perch-
ing upon it ; upon my nearer approach the bird
rose slowly and heavily from the mangled re-
mains of poor Mr. Merton. He was stripped quite
naked, and lying on his face, the greater part of which
was actually cut ay.ay ; his head is one mass of fright-
ful wounds, and many bruises on different parts of the
arms and body, which is torn by birds of prey. About

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.

The weather, fur some time past, has been exceed-
ingly disastrous—continual and heavy rains, accompa-
nied by adverse winds. As a very large portion of the
crop is yet out in staok, and in some backward
districts not a little reatans to be cut, the injury
sustained must be great. Yesterday was one of the
stormiest days we have experienced this season.
The re in fell heavily, occasionally in torrents,
and act wind was exceedingly boisterous, sometimes
almost amounting to a hurricane. About four o'clock,
the force of tllo wind and rain, as they scoured the
streets, Itecally cleared the navementa, by driving the
inhabitants into places of abetter ; and the gutters saa
like swelled rivulets. For a time the storm was irresista
; and we much fear that, in country situations, its
effects will be severely felt on the state of the crops.—
Gfasgolv Arhus.
The weather still continues unsettled, and from the
frequent rains must be very prejudicial to the outstand-
ing crops. Yesterday was cold and stormy, with a
strong gale from the south-we:t, accompanied with
heavy showers of rain and sleet. We understand that
in many parts of East Lothian and Fife a great deal
of grain is still in stook, and, from the backwardness
of the wra!her, very little has been cut in the higher
districts of the country.—Edinburgh Courant.
During the last ten days the weather has been of the
most unfavourable kind, and yesterday was the worst
day of all. The rain fell in torrents, and the Clyde,
which has been more or less swollen for a week, came
doem in full flood. The cons luence is that nothing can
be done to save the rernaming portions of crop which
are still exposed, particularly in the elevated districts,
and almost as little can be done to forward potato
harvest. We are informed that a considerable breadth
of this root is in a very critical state, being is danger
of rotting, from the surface water with which the
furrows have in many cases been covered for a con-
siderable length of time.—Glasgow Herald.
ELGIN, OCT. 15.—The weather throughout the
past week has been rather more favourable for expe-
diting harvest work than it was during the preced-
ing fortnight. We have had several dry and
sunny days ; but they have generally been fol-
lowed by cold and rainy nights. There is still a
great deal of grain exposed in the fields ; and in
close, damp situations it has suffered very considerably
from the humidity of the season. Every favourable hour
is now eagerly mts:'e available for the gathering in of the
crops, and, should the weather continue dry, a general
clearance of the fields will be effected in the early part
of next week.—Edinburgh Courant.

IMPORTANT FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

We have received through the Boston Moil, advises

There had been a severe and important naval engage-
ment between the squadrons of Buenos Ayres, under
Commodore Brown, and Monte,Video, under Commodore
Coe. Victory crowned the efforts of the latter, and
the blockade of Monte Video; has been raised in conse-
quence. Following is the despatch of Commodore Coe,
after the fight:—

The undersigned has the honour of addressing, himself

transmission to the Supreme Chief of the Republic, in-
forming him that yesterday, at eightin the morning, the
enemy came in sight to windward, to the number of eight

us stationary until nine o'clock, when we set sail in
order to gain a hotter position .to "windward. But this

WOOL WIC UESDAY.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.
The difficulty of obtaining recruits for the regiment has
led to the exped►ent of reducing the standard one inch—
viz., from 18 to 22 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches, and from
17 to 18 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches.
The corps by this arrangement will soon be completed,
but it is to be feared, not with the stout and robust artil-
lerymen of which the regiment ought to be composed.
The number of weakly subjects unfit for the duties of the
profession they had adopted, and who were on that ac-
count discharged last year, was in a great measure the
result of a similar order, particularly with regard to those
enlisted in Ireland. It was formerly the pride of the hardy
sons of the Scottish peasantry to enter this distinguished
branch of the service, for which their healthy frames and
patriotic spirit rendered them well adapted; but since the
reduction of the pension allowance *to 6i. a day after 21
years' service, none, except those who have lost that cha-
racteristic of their countrymen, an anxious desire to pro-
vide for old age, can be induced to enter her Majesty's
service. When it is considered how few are pensioned
after 21 years' service, out of the number that enlist,
and the expense attending delicate persons who are' sel-
dom out of the hospital, it is probable that a return go a
pension of one shilling a day would, in the end, prove most
economical.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

y:IONDAY EVENING.)
C [IRONIC E.—The English Funds assumed a
considerable degree of firmness shortly after the com-
mencement of business, and a purchase of -10,000 Con-
sols was effected by an influential broker at 891. Later
in the day, however, prices again receded, the last quo-
tation being 89 buyers. Exchequer Bills experienced
a further rise of 45., the quotation having reached 7s.
to Us. p:em. Money has been easy to-day.
We expected that our recent explanation of the pro-
ceedings in Chancery at the instance of the State of
Illinois against Delafield, would call forth some efforts
' at contradiction, and we have not been disappointed.
We observe an attempt to throw discredit upon our
statement in a Contemporary to-day, but a more Janie
or impotent one we hale never seen. We published
the opinions of Mr. Daniel \Webster the counsel, and
of Mr, Ruggles, the Solicitor for the State of Illinois,
in the cause, explaining the object and nature o.f th
action, and declaring th there al
no . -e
tion on the part of the State to repudiate the ‘a-
lidity of the bonds issued to Del:Acid, but merely
to restrain him from parting with those which he still
retained without paying for them, and to make the pro-
ceeds of those which he had parted with available to
account of his debt. The opinion of Mr. Webster
cannot be sbaken by unsupported assertions, and the
bona fide holders of Illinois stock.niay rely with coofi.
deuce upon its truth and authenticity. Our Contem-
porary should be satisfied to let facts alone. He will not
increase his reputation by endeavouring to subvert them.
We have received the African Colonizer for the 2d
instant, in which strong complaints are made against the
lire:en/in:ter Review, because in a recent article
on the subject of Emigration, containing a cata-
logue of colonies. fit for emigration, " the very name of
the Cape of Good Hope is omitted." " This," says
the African Colonizer," is bad enough, but worse fol.

is displayed with judicious care, and the twofold increase
of that wool every five years is properly enough insisted
upon ; but the strange conclusion is made that the de-

Monday afternoon Mr. Payne held an inquest
at the Fox and Grapes, Primrose-street, I3ighopsgate, on
the body of Amelia Cohen, aged 39. On Wednesday
night, she fell down the kitchen stairs and struck her head
on the stones. She was found with the blood gushing out
of her cars and quite insensible, in which state she re-
maiced till Friday morning, when she expired. The cause
of death was a fracture of the base of the skull. The jury
returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," after which
they strongly commented on the inhuman conduct of seve-
ral surgeons for refusing to attend the deceased, and com-
plimented Mr. Shaw, of Bishopsgate-street, for his prompt
attention.

Proprietors of the Colonial Bank took place Yesterday
at the London Tavern, Bishomgate-stre et, Cur the de-
claration of a dividend and the election of five Directors
in the room of those going out by rotation. There was:
a very large number of Shareholders present. At one•
o'clock the Chairman and Directors entered the ro4nn,
when the advertiL•ement convening the meeting inns reAal.
Toe CHAIRMAN said he would in the first instance
inwish all
was
the company a happy new year. riere
nothing the aspect of the affairs of the B ink to eNcite
any apprehension in the minds of the Shareholders.
They were not going at the speed of railroads—(l-I(.w,
hear)—their pace resembled more that of the tortortr,
and he was gratified to add they were progre,sing stea,
(lily and most successfully.—(Cheers.) That state-
latent would be fully borne out by the report which be:
now called upon the Secretary to read.
The Report was then read by the Secretary of the
affairs of the Bank for the ear, ending 30th June,
1840, front which it appeared that the profit for the ball-
year amounted to 25461/. 19s. 9d., and the reserved
fund to 16,497/. The Directory proposed that the
dividend of 4 per cent, for the half year, should be de-
clared, being at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum on the
paid up capital of the Bank, leaving a sum of 1,000/. to
the payment of preliminary expenses, and an addition
of 4:4611. I9s. 9(1. to the reserved fund.
The Report was received with loud cheers ; and the
motion that it be received and printed was unanitnously
agreed to.
The five Directors going out by rotation were then
re-elected, and thanks bein4 voted to the Directors for
their zeal and ability in the management of the affairs
, of the Bank, the meeting separated.

WALSALL ELECTION.

The following address has been agreed to una-
nimously at a large meeting of the electors and
others of Bolton, the Mayor in the chair, and
transmitted to Mr. Dickson, the Chairman of the
Walsall A n ti- Corn -law Association. We under-
stand that many other places in difFercnt parts of
the kingdom are in motion, in order to follow th e
spirited example of Bolton :

" TO THE ELECTORS OF WALSALL.
" We, the friends of the abolition of the Corn-laws, in
Bolton, assembled at a public tea party, address you on
behalf of the great principle of justice—our devotion
to which we arc here met to testify.
" You will be called upon soon to arbitrate between
the oppressor sad oppressed—between the sons of mo-
nopoly and the children of industry—between the
wealthy few and the millions who earn their bread by
the sweat of their brow. Do we doubt that your ver-
dict 3 will be. just ? To doubt the result of the forth-
cominic struggle would be to question your title to the
character of Englishmen, patriots, and Christians.
" Our enemies have dared to make your borough the
arena for fighting a great battle between the landlord
aristocracy and the people—they have dared to ask you
to support their unholy monopoly at the expense of
your rights as citizens, as fathers, and employers.
They ask you in fact to sacrifice your interests, to YiO•
late your sacred duties, to forfeit the smiles of your ewn
approving consciences, and the respect of your fellow.
and all for what ?—that a few thousand
alreadyo t ry
richnn
,
landowners may luxuriate at the expense of
the tears and sufferings of the people. This is the
true character of the contest.
" Prepare, then, electors of Walsall, for the holy
its triumphant issue, and most heartfelt sympathy for
your sacrifices and labours will atteni.
struggle, and be assured that our warmest wishes for
ting of from 700 to

PARDON OF MR. JOHN FROST.

By the barque Pilgrim, which arrived yesterday
at Liverpool, we have received Sydney and other
Australian Papers to the 13th of August inclusive.
They inform us that the Governor-General had ap-
pointed Mr. John Frost, convicted of high treason at
Newport, to a subordinate office in the Commissariat
Department of Port Arthur. Sir George Franklin
was induced to bestow this mark of leniency upon
Frost in consequence of his exemplary conduct during M
the voyage out. Hopes of the ultimate pardon of

Frost were confidently entertained. Mr.

feet six inches high, and seven feet in length ; the whole
of the wheels arc made of gun-metal, and beautifully cut,
strikes
o the two larger wheels for the quarters and striking are
both of equal size, two feet diameter and one inch and a
half thick ; the rest of the wheels seem in good propor-
tion. It has a compass dial escapement, with hardened
steel studs in the escapement wheel; the arms of the pal-
lets ate made with adjusting screws, in order to sct the es-
capement to the greatest nicety. The pendulum is very
ingeniously suspended, and weighs :20(11bs. ; i t makes ova
vibration in two seconds. The liamnicr that strikes the
large bell weighs 751bs. ; and the clock goes eight deys
with once winding. The whole of the weight used to
keep the clock going is 251bs. ; the escapement holes are
made of bell-metal, from the old bells that were destroyed
in the late fire; the present clock is made with discharging
' apparatus for a 5..-t of chimes to play seven tunes, which,
we hope, will eventually be added. The old clock was
made by Hindley. of York, about the year 1752, and was
considered at that time a very fine specimen of workman-
ship —York Herald.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
defer:ed annuity is made, nut only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sure of all the advantages
neretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly er weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 2.0 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 394/. 115. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 466/. at death.

2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
ease of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prlspectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at
any of its Branches throughout the country.
