The plan of warming houses by steam has
been adopted at Burlington House, Piccadilly, and should
it give satisfaction, is expected to he generally practised in
the houses of the nobility and gentry. It probably bas
been suggested by the warming of the principal houses in
Sc. Petersburgh, by stoves ; but in England there is
something considered so social in the appearance of a clear
cnal fire, that the latter is not likely to he rivalled by any
substitute produced by new fantasies.

Careful observers perceive the approach of a
erect political storm,---a storm arising from the Corn
Laws, and to be allayed no otherwise than by their repeal.
Hitherto some the most distinguished advocates of cheap
bread have sought to prove that a free trade in corn
would not he injurious to the I indlords, while others admit
that the landlords have an inter,st in de r hre.ol. The
author of " Engl and and America" takes the bull by the
horns, and shows that cheap bre.id would be most bene-
ficial to the landlords. The minor proposition, that cheap
bread would not be injurious to the landlords, is, of course,
included in the major proposition, that cheap bread would
he beneficial to the landlords.

HORRIBLE MURDER.—The following ex-
tract from the log-box of the brig Texas, recently ar-
rived at New York, details an instance of almost unpa-
ralleled atrocity and bloodshed :—" The Texas sailed
from this port on the 13th of December last, under the
command of Captain Ellory, and Mr. P. Babcock, as su-
p,rcargo, bound to the coast of Africa, on a trading voy.

Howard to the Captaincy. On the 25th of May, the
supercargo also died of the fever. Oa the following
day, during the absence on shore of Captain Haw-
ard and the mate, Mr. J. Smith, 'Walpole loaded
twenty pairs of pistols, each with two balls. The
Captain and mate returned about four o'clock in the
afternoon, retired to the cabin, and lay down on the
transom and fell asleep. Walpole put as many of the'
pistols in his belt as it would hold, and laid the rest in
rows on the transom. Thus prepared he took deliberate
aim, and discharged a pistol at the Captain, one ball
entering the groin, and the other the lower part of the
abdomen, wounding him severely; he then turned round
and shot the mate through the heat, who did vtithout
a struggle. He then ran on deck, and fired on John
Gowing, carpenter, whom he severely wounded in the
side, exclaiming, " I have killed two, and will kill every
white man on board !" At this crisis, Junes Berry,
seaman, rushed towards him, when he turned, and fled
into the cabin. As Berry was descending the steps,
Walpole fired at him ; the ball passed over his head,
and entered the deck a',oVe. Berry succeeded in
.him by the throat, and forcing him to the
floor; while in this situation he fired agsina but with
as little effect as before. At this momen.t one of thei crew

feared that he will lose the use of his legs. The Texas
lies at anchor at quarantine. —New York Paper.
