• WARLIKE PREPARATIONS.-SHEERNESS,
MAncti lo.—The greatest bustle and activity prevails in the
Royal dockyard here in getting her Majesty's ships Monarch
and Venus fitted out. When completed, they proceed to Spit-
head for orders. No doubt is entertained here but that their
destination is a visit to our braggart brother "Jonathan" and
the rest cf •the Van Buren faction, A letter received here
(Sheerness) this morning states, that at Plymouth and Ports-
mouth the utmost activity prevails in the naval department,
and our position in China is now talked about as if it were a
secondary consideration. _ _ _

JEWS DECLARATION BILL.—Of the twenty-
five bigots who formed the tail of Sir Robert Inglis, in opposing
this Bill on Wednesday, not fewer than ten were Scotch Mem-
bers, or of Scotch descent. To the honour of Ireland not one
Irish Member voted against it.
On the finishing of the Mersthain and Balcomb
tunnel, which we named as having taken place last week, the
workmen, to the number of 100, paraded through the arches
with lighted torches in their hands, and preceded by a band of
music to celebrate this event. The effect was quite scenic,
and, being concluded by a dinner at Cuckfield, the jolly navi-
gators kept up their festivities till a late hour. We 'understand
the third (Clayton) tunnel is also in a very advanced state, and
will be finished by August, when the whole line is to be opened
fraa Brighton to London.
Prince Nicholas Esterhazy will leave Chandos
Mouse in a few days for Melton Mowbray.
At Vienna, on the 25th ult., was celebrated, in
the chapel of the English Embassy, the marriage of his Excel-
lency Lord Beauvale, her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador to
the Court of Austria, with Mdlle4deMaltzahn, daughter of the
Prussian Ambassador at Vienna. Prince Metternich and the
whole of the resident foreign Ministers were present at the
ceremony.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Thursday,
by special license at St. George's, Hanover-square, by the Rev.
Horace Pechell, the Right Hon. the Earl of Abingdon, to the
Lady Frederica Kerr, daughter of Lord Mark Kerr and the
Countess of Antrim.

-----
One of the petitions presented by Mr. Hume
from the National Charter Association, on Wednesday, was for
the release of Robert Peddie, not Petty as given in the Report.

BIRTH.—On the 9th hiSt., -in Park-street,
Bath, the lady of Walter Irvine, M.D., was safely delivered
of a son and heir.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 10.—The average price
of Wheat last week was 18f. 32c., and that of Rye, llf. 45c.
ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—A man at Man-
ebester, named Thompson, last Monday attempted to mur-
der a young woman whom be lived with. He asked her to
get him some coffee, which she refused to do, and said,
" No; if you.want coffee, you must get it yourself." She
was at that time sitting near the fire-place, and he in a dis-
tant part of the room. He deliberately, and without saying
a word, walked towards her, and, putting his arm round her
neck, drow a razor across her throat, cutting her from ear
to oar. He took to his heels afterwards, but was disco-
vered hiding himself in an old saw pit. He was covered
with mud, and had apparently made an unsuccessful at-
tempt to hang himself. On Tuesday morning he was
brought up at the Borough Cou►t, before Sir Thomas Pot-
ter, when the above facts were detailed in el idence. He
was, of course, remanded until something was known of
the fate of the unfortunate woman.

EXPORT OF HORSES.—It is amusing to observe
that while certain grumblers on this side of the water are
full of alarm at the liberal purchases the French have been
making in our horse marts, the French, on the other baud,
are crying out most lustly at the wretched animals they
have got in return for their cash. In fact, what with the
long frost and snow, and the demand for export, there bas
been a gewril clearance of screws.
THE HIGHLANDS.—The weather for the last
f ,rtnight has been highly conducive to prepare the ground
for the operations of the plough, which is now being
re-drawn out. The strong drought of the full shining
sun, and the slight frost of the evening, have dried up the
ground sooner' than could have been expected from its sa-
turated state by the storms of winter. Provender for ~he
cattle is likely to be fully abundant, though hay has been
much expended in feeding sheep stocks during the storm.
This provident attention has, however, helped to make
them now appear in excellent condition, auguring well
for the crop of lambs. The price of victual continues
firm. Best Chester,
ips..to 20s. per six Lushei. Oats
18s. to 19s. per ditto. kat cattle are expected to pay
the feeding well; and the price of horses is also on the
rise. On the whole, present prospects are rather favour-
able. —Perthshire Advertise

heavy blow in the region of the heart, when he fell and
instantly expired. The match was made, we understsad,
without the knowledge of W • rlght, and he wished to make
it up, and on entering the prize-ring offered to forfeit hale-
