was unfortunately the necessary result of the unwise

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND

Vtibitt C;ptitton.

" Who runs may read,"

PONLEIGN.

Accounts from Stockholm, of the 26th ult., announce that
the King was dangerously ill, and, considering his advanced
age, little-hopes are entertained of his recovery.
The intelligence brought by the French mail possesses
little interest. A summary of it will be found under the
proper heads. The Funds on Sunday continued to decline.

MAW AND PIPLIC4% -
At the Court of Exchequer another revenue case was tried,
arising out of the Custom-house frauds. Mr. Dean, the de-
fendant, carried on a, silk business in St. Paul's Churchyard,
at the time to which this action goes back, but he has now
ceased to do so. It has been brought against him for having
removed goods, knowing the duties thereon to have been
unpaid in part. The case of the Crown having closed, the
Attorney-General consented to allow it: to stand over till
the sittings after term, the defendant not being prepared
with his defence.

The session of the Central Criminal Court, at -the Old
Bailey, commenced on Monday. There are at present 250
prisoners for trial, some of the offences being of a very serious
character, and it is expected that this number will be in-
creased to 300 before the grand jury are discharged.
In the Court of Common Pleas, an action was brought
against a Mr. Corry, one of the sub-contractors on the
Preston and Wye Raihvay, by another contractar on the
same line, named Gosling. Mr. Corry, in consequence of a
disputa with the plaintiff about the purchase money of some
timber, caused an advertisement to be inserted in the Hue
and Ciwyclescribing the plaintiff's person, age, height, &c., in
the same way as' for felons, and offering. a reward for his
apprehension. For this libel the action was brought.. The
writing of , the-letter having been proved- to the satisfaction
of the jury, they gave their verdict for the plaintiff--

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1844

In the House of Lords a discussion took place rela-
tive to the property of felons. The subject was in-
troduced by the Duke of IticiimoND, who moved for a
copy of a circular which had been sent to the different
clerks of the peace in the United Kingdom. The
paragraph in the circular to which he objected was
that which authorised a constable to enter the pre-
mises of a prisoner in order to ascertain the amount
of his property. This, he considered illegal, and as
a visiting magistrate he should consider it his duty
to inform every prisoner that, up to the period of his
conviction, he had a right to dispose of his property
in any way he might think proper.

Lord WIIARNCLIFFE concurred in the remarks
made by the Duke of RICHMOND. Lord BROUGHAM
said it was impossible to defend that part of the cir-
cular which authorised a constable to commit a tres•
pass ; and after a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and
the Duke of RICHMOND the motion was withdrawn,
on an understanding that the Government would
make an intimation to the clerks of the peace that the
objectionable clause was not to be acted on.
Lord CLARENDON gave notice that he would on
Friday put some questions to the Secretary fur Fo-
reign Affairs relative to Spain.
A conversation then took place between the Noble
Earl and Lord ABERDEEN, respecting the Chinese
treaty, when the Foreign Secretary said Government
had not yet received the supplementary treaty, but he
trusted it would be satisfactory.
In answer to a question from Lord MONTEAGLE
the Duke of WELLINGTON said it was not the inten-
tion of the Government to appoint a Committee on
banking, as there was already sufficient information
before the House on the subject.

The Noble Duke also said it was the intention of
the Government to institute an inquiry respecting
the Irish poor-laws, but not till the Irish representa-
tives had returned.

In the House of Commons, after the presentation
of petitions, Mr. COBDEN gave notice that on Tuesday
fortnight he would move for a Select Committee to
inquire into the effect of the import duties on tenant-
farmers and farm-labourers.

would movefor the correspondence, or extracts of the
correspondence, which took place between her Majesty's
Government and the Governments of France and. Rus-
sia relating to recent events in Greece.

THE AIfEERS OF SINDE.
Mr. ROEBUCK Save Rotice that he would move the
following resolution ,upon.the motion of the Noble Lord,
the Member for Dorset ( Loid Ashley), " That the conduct
pursued by Lord Auckland, as Governor General of
India, in his negotiations wit h the Ameers of Sinde, was
iniquitous and unjust towards them, and • impo-
litic with regard: to British dominion in In-
dia, and that flit, policy of Lord Ellenborough
was unfortunately the necessary result of the unwise
policy pursued by his preaecessor • and that while the
restoration of the `Ameers to their former dominion
would be dangerous; to Jjritish interests, and therefore
impossible, humanity. -required that they should be
treated in a manner consistent with their former position."

NEPAUL AND OUDE.

There have been some hostile collisions between the people of
Oude and the Nepaulese, and the disputes between the two Go.
vernments are of a nature so serious, that it is believed the inter.
Terence of the British will be necessary. A shert time ago the troops
at Cawnpore were ordered to hold themselves in readiness for ser.
vice, and it was believed hostilies were contemplated. Nothing,
however, was done. The Delhi Gazette of the 23d December,
received this morning, intimates that orders have been
issued for the instant march towards Etawah (on the Jumna,
in the Dooab, between Gwalior and Oude) of the following troops :
—" A wing and head quarters of the I lth Inlantry, an effective
troop of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, another of the 11th Light
Cavalry, and two nine-pounder guns. manned b) a detail of the
third company's 7th battalion, the whole under the command of
Lieutenant-Colonel Scott, of the I Ith Infantry.' The 12th In-
fantry, and the right wing of the 18th, are likely also to leave
Lucknow for Etawah. Sir 'William Nott has temporarily resigned
the residentship at Lucknow, on the score of ill health, and Sir G.
Pollock has succeeded him.

NEPAUL AND OUDE.

There have been some hostile collisions between, the people of
Oude and the Nepaulese, and the disputes between the two Go.
vernments are of a nature so serious, that it is believed the inter.
ference of the British will be necessary. A short time ago the troops
at Cawnpore were ordered to hold themselves in readiness for ser-
vice, and it was believed hostilies were contemplated. Nothing,
however, was done. The Delhi Gazelle of the 23d December,
received this morning, intimates that orders have been
issued for the instant march towards Etawah (on the Jumna,
in the Dooab, between Gwalior and Oude) of the following troops
A wing and head quarters of the 11th Infantry, an effective
troop of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, another of the 11 th Light
Cavalry, and two nine-pounder guns, manned by a detail of the
third company's 7th battalion, the whole under the• command of
Lieutenant-Colonel Scott, of the 11th Infantry." The 12th In.
fantry, and the right wing of the 18th, are likely also to leave
Lucknow for Etawah. Sir William Nott has temporarily resigned
the residentship at Lucknow, on the score of ill health, and Sir G.
Pollock has succeeded him.

A requisition to the High Bailiff of Westminster is
now in course of signature, requesting him to call a
public meeting of the inhabitants of this city, to
express their opinion upon the conduct pursued by
the Government towards Mr. O'Connell, and to peti-
tion Parliament for an address to the Queen, that her
Majesty will graciously exercise her prerogative, and
order the release of the State prisoners, now under
sentence in Dublin.
_A preliminary meeting will
be held to-morrow, at which the proceedings of
the public meeting will be arranged. From the in-
terest displayed in all quarters in this matter, we
have no doubt of an important demonstration of public
feeling.

FRANKFORT, MAY 31.--Letters from Poland say that
the state of
is things in the Ottoman empire becomes every
day more complicated, and that the intervention of Rus-
sia inevitable. Things-have come to such a pass, that
either the Cross or the Crescent must disappear in Turkey ;
it is to be presumed that Europe will not permit Chris-
tianity to be expelled. Russia alone can take upon: it-
self to execute such an operation, and this operation
may be nearer than is supposed.
As for the going of the Emperor to England, it is well
known that his Majesty takes delight in such surprises,
which' shows the friendly nature of such visits, which,
without 'pomp and ostentation, proceed only from per-
sonal friendship 'and esteem. •

destroy life. His name is Markham; he is about 45 years
of age, and was originally apprenticed to a baker in Louth,
and was formerly a keeper at the. Lincoln Lunatic Asylum.
Having some time ago threatened to revenge himself
upon old Gainsley, having informed upon.a brother
of his for riding upon the shafts of his waggon at the
.time.Gainsley kept the Ashby toll-gate, he took the
opportunity referred to to carry his passion into effect.
By some means or other, he became acquainted with a
Mrs. Desforges, a widow, possessed of some little pro-
perty, residing at Bilsby, near Alford, to whom he was
actually paying his addresses at the time he attempted
to carry out his sanguinary intentiong. - •
From information received the prisoner was traced to '
the house of Mrs. Desforges; at Bilsby, during the night
of Saturday last, where Superintendent Cathpbell arrived
at half-past eleven o'clock at night, accompanied by
Chapman (Louth police) and Biggs (Alford police).
'On arriving at. the house the superintendent knocked
at the door. Mrs. Desforges asked " Who's there ?"
The answer was, " A friend." She. then ran up
stairs, looked out of the window, and repeated
the same question, asking, " What was wanted ?"
He answered, " You need not be afraid, I want to speak
to you." She then came down stairs, and opened the
door. Campbell then asked who' she had in the house ?
She said, " I have only my children and Mr.. Mark -
hani." He then said he wanted to speak to Mr.
Markham, and requested her to show him the bedroom,
which was only seven steps from . the front door.
She- went up, and. the officers followed. The door
was open. ' Mrs. Desforges observed, " Do shut the
-door, . Mr.-Markham ;" but, on looking into the room,
blood- was seen, and it was immediately discovered that
he had eta his throat. Mr. Handsley, of Alford, was
sent fir," and he very promptly arrived, and sewed up
the wound,. -which extended four inches across his
'throat. The. prisoner said it was his intention to
wound Gainsley, and to give him a desperate
fright, for having about three years back, laid an
information against his brother for riding on the wag-
gon-shafts. The prisoner was wounded by Gainsley in
several places, and he stated that it was with difficulty
he had made his escape. He had determined to cut his
throat rather than be apprehended, atid had his razor
with him for that purpose ; he did the desperate act
directly Mrs. Desforges. went down for the purpose of
opening the door. He was left in the custody of Biggs.
Since Mr. Handsley, surgeon, of Alford, sewed-up the.
gash in the man's throat, he managed while alone to tear
out the stitches, and now lies in a most precarious state ;
indeed, with scarcely a hope of recovery.

AMERICAN NEWS.

ONE DAY LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES.
By the fast sailing packet-ship Yorkshire, commanded
by Captain Bailey, we have received New York papers
of the 16th ult., being one day later than those received
last week, by the Hibernia steamer.

The Yorkshire has, considering the adverse winds
which have prevailed during the last three weeks,
made a most excellent passage, and brings the
large number of fifty cabin passengers. In-
deed, the state of great perfection in the way
of comfort, safety, and convenience, latterly attained
by these packet-ships, has rendered them once more very
formidable rivals to the steamers.

The news embracing only a single day, does not ap-
pear to possess any great degree of interest.
In Philadelphia, at the latest accounts, all remained,
and was likely to continue, perfectly tranquil. Num-
bers of the Irish had, it was reported, come up to New
York.

In one of the Virginia papers we notice great com-
plaints of the scarcity of the tobacco plant. The fly is
said to be unprecedentedly destructive, and a portion of
the crop would remain unplanted.
The extensive rolling-mills and wire-works of Brown
and Elton, at Waterbury (Conn.), had been burnt to the
ground. Loss estimated at twenty thousand dollars.
The workmen employed on the Mohawk and Hudson
Railroad had struck for higher wages. Their demand
was a dollar per day.
There had been a small riot among the sailors at New
York, which was, however, speedily quelled, and the
offenders held to bail.

Ole Bull, the violinist, had arrived in New York from
Philadelphia. The New York Herald says--" We have
now all the principal violinists here, with other musical
artists of eminence, and may expect a great music mania
for a long time. The congregation of so many great
musical attractions at this moment is unfortunate for
the legitimate drama, and the success of Mr. Macready's
last engagement in tbo United States. The great influx
of strangers, however, who are desirous to embrace the
only opportunity offered them of seeing this great tra-
gedian, make his houses welt attended, which would
otherwise be thin.

A vessel had arrived at Vhiladelphig from Buenos
