THE CONDEMNED CORRIGAN.

It has been definitely arranged that the execution of
the wretched convict, Thos. Ww. John Corrigan, for the
murder of his wife, in Church-street, Minories, on Boxing-
day last, shall take place on Monday next, the 25th inst.,
in front of the gaol at Newga,te. Various erroneous re-
ports have been circulated, to the effect that the last son-
tence of the law would be carried out this morning, by
order of the sheriffs of the City of London. It was very
generally believed that Corrigan would have been re-
prieved, but on Saturday afternoon all doubts as to his
fate were set at rest by official orders being received by
the governor of the prison for the execution of the un-
fortunate man, whe has been in a low desponding state
for several dayr. The wretched convict on Friday morn-
ing requested that he might be allowed an interview
with his four children, who were accordingly introduced
to him in the condemned cell. They were accompanied
by Mr. Burton, of Church-street, at whose residence the
late tragedy took place. The father and brother of the
convict were likewise present. The prisoner was much
affected, and the interview was one of a most painful
description. The governor and the Rev. 'Wm. Davis,
the chaplain of the prison, were in attendance. The
latter gentleman has been a!daily visitor to the cell, and
the convict has more than once attributed his dreadful
crime to excessive drinking of ardent spirits after his
duties were over at the East India warehouse, in
Leadenhall street, where he was respected for
hwiisite general behaviour. The unfortunate man

Various rumonrs have been circulated during the past
week to the effect that the friends of the condemned
were busily engaged in getting a memorial signed by the
jury, and a great number of influential persons, for pre-
sentation to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
intend
went, with a view of obtaining a cornnautation of the
sentence, but nothing of the kind has transpired. The
execution of Carrigan is fully expected by his aged parents and the whole of his relative•, who
taking their last farewell of him in the course of the
present week. The convict has been engaged during
the last few days in writing letters to his most intimate
friends. Yesterday morning the prisoner attended
Divine worship in the chapel of the gaol. The condemned
sermon will be preached on Sunday morning next.

She has brought 30,394 dollars in specie on
freight.
Congress was organised on the 2d, on tha adop-
tion of the plurality rule, by the election of Mr.
Banks as Speaker. The last ballot stood—Banks,
103 ; Aiken, 100 ; Scattering, 13. Subsequent to
the declaration of the result, and the announce-
ment ,by the tellers that Mr. Banks was chosen
Speaker, objections were started by the Know-
Nothings as to the legality of the whole proceed-
ing, whereupon a resolution endorsing the action
of the House was offered and adopted, 39 members
dissenting.
On the 4th the usual Course of swearing in the
members took place. '
The official organ of the Government remarks :--
" Although the result is one that every rational
man must regret, yet, as the Republicans have a
known majority in the house, and therefore are
entitled to a Speaker,
there is reason for acquiesc-
ing, inasmuch as it enables the machinery of Go-
vernment once more to move on."
There was some talk of a difference on account of
the transference of Russian vessels to Americans.
The Washington correspondent of the Herald
says—
" It has leaked out of the State Department that
the French Government has assumed a p3sition in
relation to, certain Russian vessels that have been
transferred since the commencement of the Eastern
war to citizens of the United States, being at the
time of the transfer in American ports, which it is
likely will make difficulty unless the President
faints. A list of the vessels has been furnished to
Mr. Mason, our Minister at Paris, and the deter-
mination avowed on the part of the French and
English Governments to hold them as lawful primal

THE BE TV BISHOP OF CARLISLE.

The Hon. and Rev. Henry Montague Villiers, M.A.,
who has been appointed to the bishopric of Carlisle,
rendered vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Hugh
Percy, is a younger son of the late Earl of Clarendon,
and brother of her Majesty's principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs. The bishop nominate was educated
at Christ Church, Oxford, where in 1834 he took his de-
g! ee of bachelor of art, but he does not appear to have
taken honours of any kind either in classics or mathe-
matics. In 1841, being then 29 years of age, he was ap.

the gift of Lord Palmerston. Mr. Villiers has been for
many years past one of the, leaders of the 'evangelical
party in the Church, but has never interfered in politics.
He declined to vote in the memorable Oxford contests,
the one on the occasion of the general election in Juiy,
1852, when Mr. Gladstone was opposed by Dr. Robert
Bullock Marsham, the warden of Merton College ; and
again in January, 1853, when, having accepted the office
of Chancellor of the Exchequer under Lord Aberdeen's
Administration, he presented himself for re election, and
was opposed by Mr. Perceval. The honourable and
rev, gentleman's " confirmation" will take place in the
parish church of St. James's, IVestininster, as soon as
the letters patent are made out; and he will be conse-
crated in the Chapel Royal, Whitehall, by the Arch-
bishop of York, who will be assisted by the Bishop of
Ripon, Chester, Manchester, and Sodor and Man. The
new bishop will riot have a seat in the Lords until the
avoidance of and appointment to some see other than
Canterbury, London, Durham, and Winchester.

DREADFUL MURDER AT ISLINGTON.

Last evening the neighbourhodd of Lower Islington
was thrown into a state of great excitement by the ru-
mour of a horrible and inysterions murder which had
been committed at No. 18, Linton-street, New North-
road. Immediately on the intelligence reaching the
police station the officers proceeded to the spot, and upon
searching the house found concealed in the coal-cellar
the body of a girl, apparently abeut 13 or 14 years of
age, with her throat cut in a frightful manner.
The circumstances of this appalling affair are at pre-
sent involved in considerable mystery. All that is posi-
tively known is that the house is occupied by a foreigner
and his wife, who are young, and have been married
about 18 months, but whose name and occupation are
involved in some obscurity. The unfortunate deceased,
it is said, is a niece ofthese-00001e :The inforthation
wai given by the servant- girl, who'-said that on Satur-
day night, when in bed, and, as far as her memory serves
her under the dreadful circumstances, about 11 'o'clock,
she heard considerable scuffling and noise in the house,
followed by a sound of screaming, which she thought
was caused by her mistress quarrelling with the supposed
niece and locking her up in the coal-cellar. Soon after
she was terrified by a person whom she suspected to be
her ma-tress suddenly entering her zoom, advancing
haatily to her with a light and pressing her hand over
her face, but which did not cause her to lose her pre-
seaoe of mind or prevent her from successfully feigning
sound sleep, for the intruder soon left the room, as the
girl supposed, satisfied that she was asleep. These
unusual circumstances much alarmed her, and aroused
her suspicions, which were redoubled when, on the fol-
lowing day, she found that the supposed niece did not
make her appearance. She, however, concealed all
emotion till towards the evening, when, an acquaintance
calling, she seized the opportunity of getting away from
the house. As soon as in the street she became very
agitated, and bursting into tears, related to her compa-
nion the above incidents, and upon her advice she, pro-
ceeded to the nearest station-house, and gave the infor-
mation which led to the discovery of the murder. The
man and his wife were still in the house on the arrival
of the police, and were forthwith taken into custody.
The body remains where it was found, awaiting a
coroner's inquest. The house has been taken possession
of by the police.

THE GERMANIC DIET.

A letter from Dresden of the 11th, in the Augs-
burg Gazette, says :—" According to the last news
from Frankfort, the adoption of the Austrian pro-
positions by the Diet is beyond a doubt. It is also
certain that, notwithstanding adhesion to the pre-
liminaries, the German Confederation will not be
represented in the Paris conferences. It is very
true that the principal aim of the journey of M. do
Beust to Berlin was to obtain that Germany should
be represented at these conferences, and that in
this respect his mission has failed. But it is not
true that his efforts had not been well received is
Berlin, and that he was completely isolated. We
can affirm, on the contrary, that M. do Beust is
completely of the same opinion as the cabinet of
Berlin, without having modified his own opinions.
If the propositions to admit Germany have not been
made, it is owing to another motive. If we are well in-
formed, the proposals made by Prussia and Saxony
on this subject have not only encountered opposi-
tion at Vienna, but also some Southern States of
Germany, particularly Bavaria, have not supported.
them. The Grand Duchy of Baden, on the con-
trary, has pronounced in the sense of Saxony and
Prussia. It is said that Hanover likewise declared
for that opinion."
The Austrian Gazette announces an approaching
political amnesty.
Prince Gortschakoff left St. Petersburg on the
7th for Warsaw to assume his office as Governor.
The Sardinian Chambers have voted the budget
without opposition.
The Caucasus (St. Petersburg journal) says that
Colonel Lake and Captain Thompson are on their
way from Tiflis to St. Petersburg. General Wil-
liams, being in ill health, remained at Tiflis with
his aide-de-camp.
