EADFUL MURDER AT ISLINGTON.

Last evening the neighbourhood of Lower Islington
was thrown into a state of great excitement by the ru-
mour of a horrible and mysterious 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 about 13 or 14 years of
age. with her throat cut in a frightful manner.
The circumstances of this appalling affsir 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 'of these people. The information'
was given by the servant girl, Wkir*tald that. on-Satur-
day night, when in bed, and, as far 'astir 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 mi-tress suddenly entering her room, advancing
hastily to her with a light and pressing her hand over
her face, but which did not cause her to lose her pre-
sence of mind or prevent her from successfully feigning
sound sleep, for the intruder soon left the room, as the
girl 'opposed, 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
maks 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 arrive;
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.

CONTINENTAL MUSICAL AND DRAMA

TIC GOSSIP.

, Feb . 16.
" Don Giovanni" has been given PARIS
this week at the
Italian Opera. Not one of the singers appeared to
comprehend the music of Mozart. The whole opera,
with the exception of the trio of the masks, went
off very flatly. Madame Frezzelini, as Donna Anna,
sang like a great, artiste, but she threw very little
perception into the part ; nor was Madame Borghi
so successful as usual. The impresario works
this lady too much. Within the last week or two
she has been called upon to sing the music of Mozart,
Rossini, and 'Verdi, each demanding a distinct character
of vocalisation. Everardi, as the Don, gave us nothing
but a young fresh voice. Carrion, the tenor, appeared
to be suffering from indisposition, for he certainly did
not let us bear the full powers of his organ, " Don
Giovanni" has been so often well given, both in Paris
and London, that its reproduction is somewhat dan-
gerous under the present circumstances. ~
M. Bottesini's new opera, "L'Assedio di Firenze,
the libretto by M. Corghi, which has been at rehearsal
some time, is announced for representatlon on Thursday

next.
Madame Ristori is positively promised us for the be-
ginning of next month. The ajich,es are already up,
and, besides the names of the artistes who form the
troupe, give the titles of the works which will be per-
formed during the season.

DREADFUL DEATH.—A sad accident, resulting in the
death of Mr. Gibson, manager of the Glan-r-afon Col-
liery at Mold, has just occurred. Mr. Gibson, finding
that an engine he was abcut to set in motion needed a
start, placed himself upon one of the spokes of the fly-
wheel. The great accession of speed suddenly effected
caused the unfortunate man to fall with his head
which, in revolving, his

THE CONDEMNED CORRIGAN.

It has been definitely arranged that the execution of
the wretched convict, Time. Wm. John Corrigan, for the
murder of his wife, in Church-street, Minories, on,th Boxing-
day last, shall Win place on Monday next, the 2a
in front of the gaol at Newgate. Various erroneous re-
ports have been circulated, to the effect that the last Bee.
fence of the law would be carried out this morning, by
order of the sheriff.; 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, who has been in a low desponding state
his
our children, that he
for several days. The wretched convict on Friday morn-
ingvimhi o

th
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.,,da.ily 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
his general behaviour. The unfortunate man
writer, and was formerly educated for the Church .
was formerly an excellent scholar and clever shorthand
He was a member of the ancient Order of Forreaters,
who have recently made a provision for his family by
granting a sum of money from their funds towards their
support.
Various rumours have been circulated daring 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-
ment, with a view of obtaining a commutation of the
sentence, but nothing of the kind has transpired. The
execution of Corrigan is folly expected by his aged
and the whole of his relatives, who • d
parents intend
taking their feet farewell of hint in the course of the
present week. The convict has been engaged (luring
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.

first rank the responsibility of the peace and prosperity
of Europe. The Imperial Court firmly believes that
this spirit of moderation and of solicitude for the general
good of the peoples will also dotninute in the Confer-
ences about to open, and that consequently the right
expressly reserved to the belligerent powers in the Fifth
Point to propose, in addition to the Four Guarantee
Points, new conditions in the European interest, will
not be exercised in a sense which could give it the effect
of again compromising the work of peace so auspiciously
commenced.

As a member of the Confederation, the Imperial Court
hopes that the distinguished assen►bly will see in the
present communication a motive for declaring, in the
face of Europe, that entire Germany, united to Austria,
accepts and is resolved to maintain the bases upon which
the approaching Conferences are to build and consoli-
date a general peace.

PARIS, SUNDAY.
Lord Clarendon and Lord Cowley arrived yester-
day evening at Paris.
To-day, at 2 o'clock, Lord Clarendon was re-
ceived in a private audience by the Emperor.
Count Buol, the Austrian Plenipotentiary, ar-
rived at Paris during the night.
The Conferences will probably open on Saturday.
Baron Manderstrom, the Swedish Minister, ar-
rived at Paris to-day from Vienna.
The Emperor, accompanied by several generals
and a numerous staff, yesterday forenoon reviewed
the battalion of Foot Chasseurs of the Guard in the
court of the Tuileries, and distributed a certain
number .of crosses and military medals. The regi-
ment went through several manoeuvres and after-
wards filed off before his Majesty, a number of
the wounded marching at the head, amid loud
cries of " Vim l'Empereur !" At 2 o'clock his Ma-
jesty, accompanied by Generals Korte aud Duberne,
and Colonels Fleury, Ney, and de Valabregue, and
escorted by a squadron of the Cent Gardes, pro-
ceeded to St. Cloud and passed in review the Bth and
10th regiments of Cuirassiers,sthe first about to
keep garrison at Canabray, and the other at
Maubeuge. These troops were drawn up in the
lower park of St. Cloud, and presented a magni-
ficent appearance. His Majesty was received with
great enthusiasm by the two regimentF, which went
through several evolutions with the most perfect
precision. After the review the Emperor returned
to Paris, the troops and the spectators shouting
loudly " Vim l'Empereur !"
While the regiment of Gendarmery of the Im-
perial Guard was filing before the Emperor on
Thursday at the end of the review, his Majesty
remarked in the last platoon two men who had
been wounded, but had not received any decora-
tion, and he called them to him to interrogate them
on the subject. The Emperor then spoke a few
words to one of his aides-de-camp, who went into
the Palace and returned with two military medals,
which his Majesty himself attached to their breasts,
and at the same time shook them by the hand. Oa
this incident being noticed by the crowd standing
near, a loud cry of " Vice l'Empereur!" rose on
all sides.

PULSE or MY HEART.

By the green banks of Shannon I wooed thee, dear Mary,
When the sweet birds were singing in summer's ga;
prides
From those green banks I turn now, heart-broken and
dreary,
As the sun sets, to weep o'er the grave of my bride.
Idly the sweet birds around me are singing,
Summer like winter is cheerless to me ;
I heed not if snow falls, or flow'rets are springing,
For my heart's light is darkened, my Cushle-mo-eltreel
Oh ! bright shone the morning when first as my bride,

love,
Thy foot, like a sunbeam, my threshold crossed o'er,
lanai blest on our hearth fell that soft eventide, love,
When first on my bosom thy heart lay, asehore 1
Restlessly now, on my lone pillow turning,
Wear the night-watches, still thinking on thee ;
And darker than night breaks the light of the morning,
For my
aching eyes find thee not, Cushle•mo-chree!
0 my loved one ! my lost one ! say, why didet thou
leave me •

To linger on earth with my heart in thy grave !
'
Oh ! would thy cold arms, love, might ope to receive me
To my rest neath the dark boughs that over thee
wave.
Still from my once happy dwelling I roam, love,
Evermore seeking, my own bride, for thee ;
Ab, Mary ! wherever thou art is my home, love,
And I'll soon lie beside thee, my Cush,lemu, chile !
Another charming lyric is "The First Cuckoo of
Spring," with its constantly recurring Cuckoo !
Cuckoo ! chiming in softly with the rhythmic ca-
dence of the stanzas. What, however, can we say
of the " Spinning Wheel Song ?" What but that
in the daring identity of its theme and in the rash
resemblance of its execution, it appears to our
wondering observation an act of. poetical audacity
after the matchless Chanson, of •Beranger—" La
Mere Aveugle."

It is evident repeatedly to us, while turning over
the pages of his graceful volume of "Poems," that

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 12.—The elections for the Grand
Council of the Kingdom have taken place in a conserva-
tive sense. M. 131uhme, one of the accused ministers,
Count Holstein, M. Andral, Minister of Finance, and
MM. Broberg, Ankjar, and Fenger, are amongst those
elected.

Tho funeral of Field-Marshal Paskiowitch
took place on the 4th, at Warsaw. The mortal
remains of the- prince were carried in great
ceremony to the palace chapel, accompanied
by the clergy, the entire body of officers, and
all the civil officers present in the city. The
corners of the pall were borne by the superior
officers of the regiment of Cossacks which had
served as body-guard to the deceased. The
crowd in the streets, was immense, and mili-
tary deputations were present from the armies
of Austria and Prussia. The Austrian baton of
the deceased marshal was borne in state by Gene-
ral Parrot, the Prussian one by Colonel Bosse,
and that for Russia by General de Witt. At the
Cathedral the Archbishop of Warsaw, Mgr. Ar-
senius, officiated. During the whole of the
ceremony the batteries of Warsaw filled the air
with repeated salvos. According to the wish of
the illustrious deceased, the body was after the
ceremony transported to the family vault in the
Tillage of Ivranowka.

AUSTRALIAN GOLD FIELDS.

On the Fiery Creek gold-fields, at the date of our last
summary, there was some 20,000 persons congregated,
and the results, as far as could be ascertained, were very
satisfactory. The number on the ground was estimated
by many to exceed considerably the numbers we have
stated, and 30,000 diggers were by some asserted to be
congregated at Fiery Creek, drawn thither by the suc-
cess of about twenty or thirty men, who had steadily
worked the ground for several months. The result of
their reported success was a " rush " from all the
other gold-fields. The rushers being all experienced
diggers, with the will to work, and the knowledge
how to work to the best advantage, by fat the greater
number were highly successful -in their search for gold.
A reaction, of course, took place, as is always the case
with gold-fields hurriedly peopled, arid many returned to
the diggings whence they came or started in search of
new spots; but there are, by the most reliable estimates,
stilt about 15,000 diggers left, the great majority of
whom are doing well, and Fiery Creek may be safely
ranked as one of the established and practically inex-
haustible gold fields of the western district. It forms,
in fact, a portion of the great gold field of the Pyrenees,
the creek after which the diggings are named, taking its
rise in that range of mountains. Lest the name of Fiery
should leave an impression on the minds of our home
readers of a parched or sultry locality, we may mention
that the name was given by Sir Thomas Mitchell, during
his exploration journey, because of the number of fires
seen there made by the aborigines. Far from being a
parched or fiery country, it abounds with fertile valleys
and green glades ; it is, in fact, a portion of the district
named by Sir Thomas Mitchell Australia Felix, from its
beauty and fertility. Fiery Creek is easily accessible
from Geelong, coaches running the distance right through
in one day.—Australian, and New Zealand Gazette.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday wore firm
for wheat, and fine qualities were rather dearer. The
barley trade was inactive, on former terms. Other spring
corn commanded very little attention ; but flour was in
steady request; on former terms.

Most of the continental markets have become firmer for
wheat ; but all other produce continues very inactive, The

Bbipments of wheat and flour from the United States have
been very moderate of late.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small. From abroad, we received 25,147 quarters of
wheat, 4,265 oats, 456 beans, 2,335 tares, 12,619 linseed.
26,285 rapeseed, 223 sundry seeds, 250 sacks and 25,179
barrels of flour.
_ .

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day were but moderate. The general quality of the
samples, however, exhibited a decided improvement. The
show of samples of both red and white was small. All
kinds moved off steadily at an advance in the quotations
realised on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. Most
of the large millers are unusually short of stock, and to
this fact is attributed the firmness in to-day's trade. The
better condition of the wheats had, likewise, some in-
fluence. _ _ _

We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, in which
an improved business was transacted, and last week's cur.
rency was well supported.
Floating cargoes of grail realised full prices.
There was a slight improvement in the trade for barley,
and the value of all descriptions was well supported. The
supply in the market was comparatively small.
There *as very little business doing in malt, at the late
decline in value.
The show of oats was but moderate, and the oat trade
ruled steady, at an advance in the quotations of from 6d to
is per quarter.
Beans were steady, but not dearer.
There was a moderate sale for grey and maple peas, at
full prices, but white qualities were 2s lower.

The flour trade was steady, at fully late rates..

FATAL ACCIDLe_NT ON A RAILWAY.

DONCASTER, Saturday Evening.—Last night an acci-
dent occurred near this town, on the Great Northern
Railway, which has terminated fataly. Immediately
after the up-express train leaves Doncaster a train is
despatched to Retford and Lincoln. That train left at
the usual time, 5.20 p.m., and on approaching the
Deo iy-crossing, one mile from Doncaster, the driver per-
ceived something on the up-line, but, it being dusk, was
unable to make out what it was. For safety ko opened
his whistle, as a warning of the train's approach. On
getting nearer he found thnt it was a child, between two
or three years old, upon the railway, and at the same
moment saw its mother, Mrs. Gibbons, the gatekeeper's
wife, cross over, and run after it, she walking on the
six font. On seeing the danger in which the child was
placed the steam was turned off and the engine reversed
as quickly as possible, hut it was too late. Mrs. Gib-
bous had just seized hid of the child when the buffer
struck them both at the same moment, killed the child
on the spot, and the woman was knocked down. When
the train was brought to a staid, the guard returned
to the spot, and found the woman and child lying bite 1-
ing on the line. He helped to remove them to the gate-
house. Assistance was speedily procured from Doncas-
ter, and H. C. Fairbank, Esq , the company's surgeon,
was soon in attendance. He found that the poor woman
had been run over by the wheels of the train, which had
cut off her left foot below the knee, broken her collar
bone, two of her ribs, and the toes of her right foot, and
severely fractured her thigh. Amputation was pro-
nounced necessary, but the sufferer is to too proetrat.e
at this time to admit of its being carried out. The
child was upon the linse.unknown tR parents, and it
was proceeding to meet, as was u mai, two men, wlui
resided with her father, to one of whom, William Iron-
dale, a plate-layer, she was particularly attached.
These men saw the accident, but, were at too great a
distance to render any aid. Not the slightest hope is
entertained of the mother's recovery, as beyond the
injuries above-named she is bruise) internally.

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 in
Berlin, and that he was completely isolated. We
can affirm, on the contrary, that M. de 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 owil-:g toanothcr 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.
