CLERKENIVELL.

George Wilmot, alias Smith, was brought up on re•
mand, charged with having attempted to murder Mrs.
Susanna Haines, wife of Mr. James Haines, plumber and
glazier, of Paradise-row, Liverpool-road, Islington, when
the Court was crowded to excess.

Mrs. Haines was brought to the Court in a cabriolet,
in a very weakly condition.
Mr. Haines, surgeon, who was called upon to attend
her after the murderous attack, now attended and said,
that she was not yet in a fit state to give her evidence,
and it might lead to a dangerous result if she attended
at the sessions to give evidence.
The prisoner stood at the bar, pale and dejected. He
said nothing, and he was remanded until the 14th of De-
cember. Ho was taken to prison, and Mrs. Haines was
conveyed to her residence.

FOREIGN POTATOES.—The arrivals of potatoes from
abroad during the past Week have comprised the follow-
ing:—The Gypsy, from Jersey, brought 45 tons, the
produce of that island; the Ruding, from Oporto, 10
baskets of Portuguese produce; the Johns, from Rouen,
the large quantity of 135 tons, the growth of France;
the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, 20 baskets, of Dutch pro-
duce; the Faith, from Rouen, 105 tons, of French pro-
duce; the Charles, from Gravelines, 50 tons, also of
French produce; the Perseverance, from Dunkirk, 14i
tons, the produce of Normandy; the Ocean, from Rot-
terdam, 4 hampers, 6 baskets, and 12 bags, of Dutch
produce; the Rob Roy, from St. Petersburg'', 225 bags,
the production of Russia; the Sir Robert Peel, from
Rotterdam, 6 bags, of Dutch produce; and the Artemus,
from St. John's, Newfoundland, 10 barrels, the growth
of that British province of North America. It will be
observed that this list of the principal arrivals during
the past week comprises supplies from France, Holland,
Russia, Normandy, Portugal, and the Channel island
first mentioned, and from which latter place we have re-
ceived parcels of the vegetable on former occasions. Of
them, those from France are especially noticeable on
account of their extent, and the individual importation
from Russia on account of its increased extent, and from
Portugal owing to its partial or entire novelty. With
respect to the arrival from Newfoundland, we are not
aware that a similar one has before taken place, and,
although trifling in quantity, the importation, on ac-
count of its novelty, would appear to possess a consi-
derable degree of interest, and to be worthy of particu-
lar and separate notice.
TILE WEATHER.—LEEDS, Nov. 29.—Last night
we had a heavy fall of snow, which came very gently,
and covered the ground to the depth of six inches. The
weather, for several days preceding yesterday, was damp
and dull ; but a sharp frost set in ou Friday night, and
continued until yesterday afternoon, when it gave way,
and was succeeded by the first fall of snow this season.
A NEW NIAGARA.—There has been a new water-
fall discovered in the River St. Louis. This cataract
falls into the western part of Lake Superior, which has
never yet been described by the geographer. It would
appear that this new wonder is second only to the falls
of Niagara. The volume of water is immense, and the '
height of the fall is 150 feet.—La Revue Canadienne. I
