TILE CONVICT_ED MURDERERS.

The unhappy boy Richard Reeve. who was con-
victed of the murder of his sister in Drury-couvt, at
the November session of the Central Criminal
Court, and who was left for execution, but who has
since received a respite during her Majesty's plea-
sure, still remains in Newgate, and the Govern-
ment have not as yet given any intimation of their
intention with regard to what is to be done with
him, and there is no foundadon for the statement
that has been made public, that the capital sentence
has been communted to one of penal servitude for
life. He was evidently a good de il relieved when
the first notification was made to him that his life
would be spared, but since then he has exhibited
the same indifference of demeanour that charac.
terised him all through the proceedings, imd now
that he knows that there is no chance of his life
being sacrificed, he evidently cares very little what
may be done Witt-. him. Ho is employed like the
other convicted prisoners in the occupation of oakum
Pi

Aching, and it appears that he has never upon any
occasion made allusion to the crime of which he was
convicted, or to the circumstances which induced
him to commit it.

Another prisoner, named William Maloney, who
was convicted of the murder of his wife in West-
minster, and who was also respited--during her
Majesty's pleasure, likewise still remains in New-
gate, pending inquiries, which it is understood are
still being made in reference to his case. It will be
remembered that this prisoner was convicted under
very peculiar circumstances, the principal evidence
against him being that given by a man named Saun-
ders, who represented that he happened to go into
the court where the prisoner and his wife lived, to
look for lodgings at the time the murder was com-
mitted, and that he actually saw the prisoner plunge
a knife into his wife's throat. It appeared that he
did not mention what he bad seen until the follow-

•
ing' day, and although the jury convicted the pri-
soner, the Home Secretary felt it his duty to recom-
mend that the capital sentence should not be carried
out. The prisoner, it will be recollected, declared
when he was taken into custody, that his wife com-
mitted the act herself, and that he was entirely in-
nocunt of the crime of which he was accused, and
ho still adheres to that statement, and under the
peculiar circumstances of the case, it appears that
the authorities at the Home Office have great diffi-
culty in deciding what course shall be taken with
regard to the prisoner.

A St. Petersburg letter of the 18th states :
" Two nights back scenes of disorder again occurred
among the students. On the 10th, a number of
students met in the lecture-room, and held a sitting
contrary to the regulations, under the president-
ship:of a professor, who seems to have played a
rather equivocal part in this business. One of the
officials of the University endeavoured to prevent
the discussion, and collared one of the students, who
resented the act by a blow, and his assistant was
Immediately hurried out of the room. M. Patkul,
the chief of the police, and General Philipson,
curator of the university, were soon on the spot,
and appeased the students by all sorts of friendly
assurances, but during the night, not fewer than
fifty of them were arrested, and lodged in prison.
lie next day other scenes occurred, of which we
have not learned the particulars, but it is said that
the students expected the release of their comrades
on the occasion of the fete of the hereditary Grand
Duke, then celebrated. Their hopes were not rea-
lised, and they met together to consider what could
be done in the case."

POYAL FREE HOSPITAL, for the Destitute
Sick, Gray's-inn-road.--Farnest Appeal.—Owing to
an unexpected delay in the payment of a considerable legacy,
on which the Committee relied, this Hospital is left without
immediate funds. As the period is rapidly approaching when
its resources are always severely tested, the Committee make
an earnest APPEAL to the pubic benevolence for means to
enable them to carry on the charity.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward Mae-
erman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co. ;

THE SHIPPING TRADE.

Messrs. Cunard, Wilson, and Co., of Liver-
pool, in their annual circular say :—‘, Liver-
pool, Dec. 31.—Reviewing the business of the year
in the sales of shipping, we estimate the number of
vessels sold at 410, equal to 193,821 tons, or about
10 per cent. less than that of 1860. This decrease
may to some extent be accounted for by the fact
that a number of second-class vessels, familiarly
known to ship buyers as ' timber and cotton ships,'
and which periodically traded to the Southern
ports of America, have been lost, and that in con-
sequence of the blockade interfering with such em-
ployment these have not been replaced. A notice-
able feature in a review of the past year is the large
amount of United States' vessels sold to British
subjects and to foreigners. These, which are in-
cluded in the above estimate, exceed 80 vessels,
amounting to 78,000 tons British measurement.
Of the vessels launched in the North American
colonies since the Ist of July last, 61, amounting to
42,588 tons, have been classed at Lloyd's, and the
majority of these have been disposed of in Liver-
pool at prices varying from .E 7 to £8 10s. per ton ;
but there still remain on sale in this port 13 new
colonial vessels, equal to 13,019 tons, the class of
which will date from the Ist of July, 1862. The
total number of sailing vessels of all descriptions
now for sale here is 72, amounting to 37,640 tons.
Iron ships increase in favour; more have been
built in this than in any previous year, and we are
glad to notice a marked improvement hoth in the
models and finish of East Coast built vessels. We
quote the prices of these vessels, classed 12 years
A 1, with a full India outfit, at from £l6 to £l7
per ton, according to measurement and finish, and
we are of opinion that they cannot be built for less
without loss to the builder. Steam vessels are in
demand, and a large business has been transacted
with foreigners. The enormous losses of the year,
the requirements of Government, and our increas-
ing coasting traffic, all tend to enhance the value
of this description of property. In the face of our
complications with the United States and their un-
certain issue it is difficult to form an opinion of the
prospects of shipping for 1862. Should the present
misunderstanding result in war, and the conse-
quent raising of the blockade of the Southern
ports by the British naval forces, the transport
of cotton stored up by planters will give em-
ployment to a large amount of tonnage; but
this to a very considerable extent depends upon
the ability of our cruisers to Keep the sea
clear of national vessels and privateers. In
any case, however, should affairs become more
complicated or hostilities ensue, neutral bottoms
must have the preference, especially in the case of
cargoes intended for distant seas, where our
eruisers are comparatively few and scattered.
Already the war premium demanded by
underwriters is operating injuriously on British
shipping engaged in the India and Pacific trades.

rrHE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WETTIiS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
I,IFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is lour weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
Ihe medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.
Pr. Rilord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at 11s., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to I'rout
and Co., Patent Medt.ineWarehouse, 229, Strand, London.

IBIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Although the e,y.ntry markets, held on Sa'urday, were
but moderately supplied with wheat, the demand for all
kinds was somewhat restricted at about stationary prices.
There was a fair enquiry for fine barley and oats at about
previous currencies, but other kinds of produce were a slow
sale.

Very little change has taken place in the value of wheat
on the Continent. The demand, however, for spring ship-
ment has somewhat improved. The American markets
come rather flat.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small.. From abroad we received 27,019 quarters of
wheat, 891 barley, 36,817 oats, 1,511 peas, 8 tares, 545 lin-
seed, 20 oilseeds, 237 sundry seeds, 2,222 sacks, and 3,261
barrels of flour.

The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's
market were much restricted, but the quality of the
samples, generally speaking, was good. The demand,
however, for all qualities was far from active, and, com-
pared with last Monday's market, scarcely any change took
place in the currencies. Some factors were asking more
money, but it was not obtained in any instance.

The show of samples of foreign wheat was tolerably ex-
tensive. Buyers being disinclined to give any advance,
and importers generally being unwilling to sell, except on
higher terms, the amount of business transacted was small
at about previous rates.

Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request ; never-
theless, prices were supported.
Malting barley was scarce, and realised somewhat en-
hanced rates. Grinding and distilling sorts, however,
moved off slowly at barely late quotatious.
In malt sales progressed slowly at previous currencies.

Fine oats met a steady enquiry, and prices were quite
maintained. Inferior parcels, however—the supply of which
was moderately extensive—were dull, and, in some in-
stances, the quotations gave way Gd. per quarter.
Pigeon beans moved off s'eadily at late rates. Other
kinds were in slow request on former terms.
The demand for peas was somewhat inactive, yet prices
were fairly supported:

The flour trade was slow, yet previous rates were fully
maintained,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

For the time of year the supply of foreign stock on offer
in to• day's market was moderately good, and in fair aver-
age condition. Sales progressed steadily, at previous rates.
The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Ireland and Scotland, was seasonably good,
both as to number and quality. Nearly all breeds were in
steady, though by no means active, request, at quite last
week's currency. A few very superior Scots realised
ss. 2d., but the general top figure for beef was ss. per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 1,200 short horns, &c. ; frtz'n Norfolk and
Suffolk 400 Scots, &c.; from other parts of England 700
various breeds ; from Scotland 380 Scots and crosses ; and,
from inland, 140 oxen and heifers.
We were fairly supplied with sheep ; but their general
condition was by no means first-rate. Good and prime
breeds commanded a steady sale, at extreme rates ; but in-
ferior sheep were a slow inquiry, at about stationary prices.
The general top price for mutton was ss. 6d., but a few
pens of Downs and half-breds realised ss. Bd. per 81bs.
There was a steady demand for calves, at fully last
week's quotations. Tho best veal was worth ss. 6d. per
81bs.

The pork trade ruled steady, and, in some instances,
priees had an upward tendency.

WHY WE SLEEP.

The amount of healthy, ordinary sleep each day
is in proportion to the amount of healthy " wear
and tear" of the system, and the absence of emo-
tional excitement; for something in the shape of
good news, as well as of bad news, will keep the
mind uneasy and awake. Thus, a traveller who is
to be up early in the morning to catch an early
train will wake to the moment; in fact, he has been
scarcely asleep at all—emotion of some sort or
another hes destroyed complete sleep. The condi-
tion of the emotions and the state of the pulse of
criminals before execution is also well known. Star-
vation is another cause of want of sleep, as there
has been no exercise or wear and tear of muscle.
We have all these conditions in hospital patients
under chloroform. Of the new world, revealed by
sleep, poets of all ages have written, of course, a
great deal, but we are more interested with the fact
that this emotion, or nervous irritability, especially
,n female patients, which destroys natural sleep,
also involves an increase of chloroform to produce
anaesthesia. Wordsworth remarks that twilight
has the power of removing, softening, harmonising,
or rendering abstract certain things otherwise lost
in the bustle or blaze of the mid-day sunshine ;
so it strikes me is sleep; it removes some objects,
and makes others more clear—it leaves out a great
deal of what is known to us as association of every
day ideas, and introduces us to a world of " innate
ideas" and new but useless fancies, and new illu-
biOßS. Chloroform patients thus sing songs, under
chloroform, they never knew

TILE SHIPPING I'.R AD S.

Messrs. Cunard, Wilson, and Co., of Liver-
pool, in their annual circular say :—" Liver-
pool, Dec. 31.—Reviewing the business of the year
in the sales of shipping, we estimate the number of
vessels sold at 410, equal to 193,821 tons, or about
10 per cent. less than that of 1860. This decrease
may to some extent be accounted for by the fact
that a number of second-class vessels, familiarly
known to ship buyers as ' timber and cotton ships,'
and which periodically traded to the Southern
ports of America, have been lost, and that in con-
sequence of the blockade interfering with such em-
ployment these have not been replaced. A notice-
able feature in a review of the past year is the large
amount of United States' vessels sold to British
subjects and to foreigners. These, which are in-
cluded in the above estimate, exceed 80 vessels,
amounting to 18,000 tons British measurement.
Of the vessels launched in the North American
colonies since the Ist of July last, 61, amounting to
42,588 tons, have been classed at Lloyd's, and the
majority of these have been disposed of in Liver-
pool at prices varying from £7 to £8 10s. per ton ;
but there still remain on sale in this port 13 new
colonial vessels, equal to 13,019 tons, the class of
which will date from the Ist of July, 1862. The
total number of sailing vessels of all descriptions
now for sale here is 72, amounting to 37,640 tons.
Iron ships increase in favour; more have been '
built in this than in any previous year, and we are
glad to notice a marked improvement both the
models and finish of East Coast built vessels. We
quote the prices of these vessels, classed 12 years
A 1, with a full India outfit, at from £l6 to £l7
per ton, according to measurement and finish, and
we are of opinion that they cannot be built for less
without loss to the builder. Steam vessels are in
demand, and a large business has been transacted
with foreigners. The enormous losses of the year,
the requirements of Government, and our increas-
ing coasting traffic, all tend to enhance the value
of this description of property. In the face of our
complications with the United States and their un-
certain issue it is difficult to form an opinion of the
prospects of shipping for 1862. Should the present
misunderstanding result in war, and the conse-
quent raising of the blockade of the Southern
ports by the British naval forces, the transport
of cotton stored up by planters will give em-
ployment to a large amount of tonnage; but
this to a very considerable extent depends upon
the ability of our cruisers to keep the sea
clear of national vessels and privateers. In
any case, however, should affairs become more
complicated or hostilities ensue, neutral bottoms
must have the preference, especially in the case of
cargoes intended for distant seas, where our
cruisers are comparatively few and scattered.
Already the war premium demanded by
underwriters is operating injuriously on British
shipping engaged in the India and Pacific traded.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

The first field-day of the brigade commanded by
Lord Truro, composed of the Ist Middlesex Light
Horse, the 3d Middlesex Artillery, and the 4th
Middlesex Volunteer Infantry, took place at Colney
Hatch on Thursday last. The arrangements were
well carried out. Two troops of cavalry, six bat-
teries of artillery, and 240 infantry marched by way
of Holloway (where a special train had been pro-
vided for the Artillery and Infantry) to Colney
Hatch. On the arrival of the Cavalry, who were
pronounced admirable both in bearing and equip-
ment, the manoeuvres commenced. The officers who
commanded the three regiments were clearly not
new to their work. The skirmishing of the 4th
Middlesex Rifles was excellent, and the charges in
line—first of Artillery and Infantry, and subse-
quently of the Cavalry, was, on the whole, sur-
prisingly good. The privates of the brigade were
entertained at dinner by the officers, and the pro-
ceedings terminated to the satisfaction of all present.
The 19th Surrey, with the 21st, 23d, and a
portion of the 10th Surrey Rifles, paraded at Ken-
nington-park on Boxing-diy, and marched to
Brixton Church, where they were joined by the Ist
Surrey Light Horse. The whole, under the com-
mand of Major Roupell, M.P., then marched up
Brixton-hill and through Roupell-park to the
Crystal Palace, where an excellent lunch was sup-
plied by Mr. Strange.
The Ist Middlesex Engineer Volunteers assem-
bled at South Kensington on Boxing-day in large
numbers. Under the command of Lieutenant-Col.
Macleod, of Macleod, the corps marched to the
Great Western Railway terminus at Paddington,
and there took the train to Ealing. Having arrived
at Ealing-common, and joined the local company of
the Ealing corps, the battalion, six companies
strong, proceeded to battalion drill, during which
the chief movements in column and line were
successfully performed. The butts at Ealing are
now available to the corps during the whole of
every Tuesday and Friday.

In addition to the 9th and 10th companies of Fo-
resters (4th City of London) Rifle Volunteers, which
consist of the members of the late 7th Middlesex
(Islington) Rifles, a new company has been formed,
and it is in contemplation to still further augment
the strength of the regiment by recruits from Isling-
ton and the immediate neighbourhood.
Last Tuesday evening a gold ring was presented

THE POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS.--The amount

number of persons, male and female, of all ages and classes,
having become depositors. The money collected has already
been transferred to the Commissioners for the Reduction of
the National Debt for investment according to law.
