M. Gay Lussac was two days ago seriously injured in the
Laboratory at the Garden of Plants, by the following acci-
dent :—As the Professor was opening a bottle in order to
make an experiment, the sudden admission of the air in-
flamed the contents, and burst the bottle with such violence
that persons outside conceived it to be the report of a musket.
M. Gay Lussac was thrown down, with his face and hands
dreadfully cut by the fragments of the bottle, but it is hoped
that none of the sinews or articulations of the hands are ma-
terially affected.

The Patrie, states that it is now very difficult to get
authentic accounts from Madrid, as the officers of the staff of
General Narvaez go every evening to the post-office to read
the letters addressed to the exterior.
A letter from Vienna, from a source generally well in-
formed, announces that the Emperor of Russia and the King
of Prussia intend to visit Vienna in the spring. This report

among other things, that during the visit of the sovereigns,
the marriage of the Archduke Stephen with the Grand
Duchess Olga, second daughter of the Emperor of Russia,
will be negotiated.
The French Admiral, according to news brought to Havre,

The plan of this Office will be found to comprise all the solid ad-
vantages of Life Assurance.
Persons have the option of Insuring upon the Return or Non-
Return Systems ; and the Tables, which include Ascending and De-
scending Scales of Premium, have been formed to suit the con-
venience of all parties.
The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the most ap-
proved calculations ; they are also verified by the experience of the
Office during forty years, are as low as consistent with safety ; those
adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM entitle its assured to an equitable
Participation in the surplus premium, according to the plan detailed
in the Company's Prospectus.
The Assured under both Systems will possess the guarantee of a
large Paid-up Capital, and the thrther'security of a responsible body
of Proprietors, without being exposed to the liabilities of partnership.
Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of an
assurance is effected ; or, loans will be granted thereon to the extent
of five-sixths of such purchase-money.

Offices as above, or to the Agents of the Company appointed in every

The SECOND VOLUME, for the year 1843, is now completed. It
is superbly embellished with a frontispiece, representing Milton com-
posing his " Paradise Lost," with a multitude of other embellishments.
Numerous Original Tales, Scientific Notices, Interesting Biogra-
graphics, and Singular Narratives, with Sketches of the Nobility of
England, enrich " The Mirror" for the last year. The promises made
by popular Writers and eminent Professors who had engaged to adorn
its pages with their communications have been made good, and no
magazine of the day has been able to lay before its readers more
varied or more valuable original matter. Its widely-extending con-
nexions enable the Proprietors to furnish the earliest and most cor-
rect announcements of all discoveries in Art, Science, and Nature,
that are interesting to the friends of Literature.

ceived the stamp of public approbation; historical facts, amusing

pence), that it may be within the reach of all.
Many Advertisers having wished to avail themselves of the large
circulation enjoyed by " The Mirror" in high and respectable families,
an additional Half-Sheet is weekly appropriated to advertisements,
so arranged as to form a Wrapper, or double Wrapper, without in
any way interfering with the Miscellany. It can be retained or de-
tached at pleasure.
"The Mirror" can be ordered ftom all respectable Newsmen, Price
Twopence.
For the convenience of Country Subscribers, it is forwarded
monthly with the Periodicals to the provinces, as well as to foreign
parts, forming a Magazine of Useful and Entertaining Intelligence,
comprehending Four or Five Numbers.
The two volumes for the year 1843, handsomely bound in cloth,
from the immense stock of information and entertainment which
they contain, will be found a most acceptable present for a friend in
foreign parts, and invaluable as a companion on a long voyage, while
its insignificant price places it within the reach of all classes.
All communications to be addressed to the Editor, care of Mr. Mor-
timer, publisher, Adelaide-street, Trafalgar-square, whore Books for
Review, and Advertisements are received.

STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 16.—0 n account of
the continued demand for Foreign Wools, and the temporary
suspension in the supply from Germany in consequence of the
frost, the stocks of some descriptions have already become
very bare, and for such as remain on hand full recent rates
are demanded and generally obtained.
ExGustt WooL, MARKET, LEEDS, FEB. 16.—We have
not any alteration to report iu this branch of trade this week,
.either as to demand or prices. There is considerable business
doing, and prices are very firm.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. 16.—The demand for
all kinds of combing wools continues good, and the improved
tenns of last week are fully maintained. Low clothing wools
are much sought for, at advanced prices. Blanket wools are
comparatively neglected, and prices without variation.
LEEDS.—The markets at both our Cloth Halls were very
lively both on Saturday and Tuesday ; but the demand is
principally for low goods, upon which a trifling advance has
been obtained, whilst the demand for finer qualities is with-
out any alteration, and prices are lower than at any period
since 1829. The demand continues brisk for Tweeds both
for foreign and home demand. There has been a little im-
provement in business in the warehouses during the week,
particnlarly for the home market, whilst the foreign houses
continue to be doing a steady business, considering the early
period of the season.
HOLMFIRTIL—There has been a moderate share of busi•
ness done here during the past month, principally in low
fancy goods. Manufacturers continuing to confine them-
selves to the orders received, stocks are consequently low.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY, FEB. 15.—There is
quite an average attendance of buyers at our piece market
to-day, and a full business doing, and late prices fully main-
tained. The demand for yarn for home consumption con-
tinues ; also several export houses (who have been doing but
little of late, owing to the Elbe being frozen) have made their
appearance as buyers, which is calculated to cause the spin-
ners to be busy for a length of time. Prices without altera-
tion. There has scarcely been so much animation in the
wool trade during the week, as for some time past. Prices
are very firm ; in fact all kinds of wool may be quoted dearer
in the growing districts since our last report. _ _

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—Though the specu-
lation in Liverpool is not so extensive this week a.s of late,
still neither spinner, manufacturer, nor buyer, seems to know
what to do : the small business doing, however, may be said
to be at about half the advance that has taken place on cotton,
and this applies to all kinds of cloth except printing cloth,
which at present finds buyers at very full and satisfactory
prices ; fine yarns are also an exception, which sell pretty
freely at paying rates.—Leeds Mercury.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 17.

The Court sat this morning for the purpose of delivering
judgments in the following:cases,:which had been leftfor the
consideration of their Lordships :

MASON V. PARNELL.
In this case the Court said it was the opinion of their
Lordships that the rule which had been obtained for a new
trial ought to be discharged.

HILL AND OTHERS, ASSIGNEES, V. SMITH.
The Court directed that in this case the rule for a new trial
should be made absolute.

RUNT v. rfoorEn AND ANOTHER.
The Court in this case said, that the rule should be made
absolute for a nonsuit.

HEATH v. CHILTON.
In this case the rule for a new trial was ordered to be made
absolute.

HART V. WINDSOR.
This was an action by the plaintiff to recover the amouut
of one quarter's rent for a house and premises in the Wands-
worth-road. The defence was, that the,house was so infected
with noxious and disgaptingiasieti.dalled bugs, as to render
it altogether_ uninhabitabre.' The case was tried before Mr.
Baron Rolfe, at, the nisi prius sittings at the last term, when
the jury retnineda verdict i 4 favour of the defendant on that
plea. In the course of the trial it was proved that the house
in question *as situated' in Spring-garden's Wandsworth-
road, and liiiiirbeen let kir 'the term of three years to the de-
fendant at an rent of 50/. A feiedays prior to the fa-
mily entering upon its ocpnpation,they.discovered that there
were " bugs" in two of the rooms, whereupon they
caused such means to be applied as they conceived
to be of a nature calculata4 to get rid of thew. In this

BRUSSELS, FEB. 16.—The Chamber of Representatives
commenced the debate on the budget of Public, Works.
Several members spoke on the subject of iron railways.
M. Rodenbach was alarmed at the expense which the cotui-
try had already incurred and those which it would still have
to incur for the completion of railroads; the first estimates
were 15 millions of francs, and if we do not take care the ex-
pense will soon amount to 200 millions.
The Minister of Public Works compared the English,
French, and Belgian systems, and did not hesitate to prefer
the latter. The diversity of opinion on this subject is very
remarkable.
The King of Sweden, in order to favour the export trade
of the kingdom, issued, towards the end of last year, a Royal
Ordinance making the following modifications in the tariff of
duties :

1. From the date of this ordinance (17th October), and
till further orders, the following articles are free from export
duty, namely, alum, pitch in barrels, red ochre, &c.
2. Coals and coke are henceforth, till further orders, free
from duty on importation.

ROMAN ANTIQUITIES IN A FRICA.—A bust of
Parian marble, in good preservation, and of excellent execu-
tion, as it is said, has recently been dug up at Cherchell, in
Africa, supposed to be that of Ptolemy, son of the second
Juba, and the last King of Mauritania Tingitana, which is
valuable as being unique. Cherchell is the ancient Cxsarea,
the capital of that kingdom.. The bust is the portrait of a
man in the freshness of outh, with the Royal fillet on his
brow ; and has a striking resemblance to the likeness on the
coins of the Ptolemy in question. It is destined for the
Royal Museum.
The party assembled at the seat of Mr. Fergusson,
at Pitfour, in the Highlands of Scotland, intended to have
separated at the commencement of the present month ; but
in consequence of the roads being impassable, arising from
the heavy fall of snow, they were still detained there.

To prevent inconvenience from the great pressure at the front en-
trance of the Theatre, the Council has resolved to limit the issue of
Tickets of admission to the Dress Circle to the precise number that
can be conveniently accommodated.
Each Ticket will be numbered, and each number represent and
secure the seat in each box to be occupied by the bearer of the
Ticket.

The Entrance to the Dress Circle will, in future, be at the Private-
Box-door on the Queen's Side, in Hart-street.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Thomas Backwater Proctor, a well-dressed man, was
placed at the bar, before Mr. Norton on a charge of being
concerned with a gang of three or four others in carrying on
for some time past, a most Impudent system of fraud, by
which they had obtained, from various persons, principally
poor struggling persons, property amounting to over 500/.
Mr. Payne, tne barrister, appeared on behalf of the pri-
soner.

From the evidence addaCed, it appeared that the prisoner
occasionally enacted the part of a servant to a person named
Melsam, not yet in custody, and in that character used to
find out where there was property—ouch as horses, carts,
&c.--for sale, and calling upon the owners, represented that
his master was in want of such articles, and was not particu-
lar as so price when he got an article to suit him, and next
took his master as he called him, to look at the property, or
had the property tsken to some house where he had just
taken lodgings. The master, who certainly was not particuitzr
to ten shillings or a pound, always purchased the property,
and this done, he invariably gave ten or twenty shillings
in cash, and a bill of seven days' date for the remainder.
The Court was completely crowded with the victims of the j
gang; and after one or two of the charges against the pri-
soner were gone through, Sergeant Teakle, who apprehended
the prisoner, informed the Magistrate that the prisoner stood
indicted, with two others, IA a clear case of horse-stealing, at
Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire, and in which the evidence
against him was perfectly conclusive.
Mr. NORTON, on hearing this, thought the best course
would be to send the prisoner into Buckinghamshire to be
tried at the next assizes, and if acquitted of the charge of
horse-stealing, that he should be brought back and tried,
with ✓other parties now in custody, for a conspiracy to defraud,
or any ether charge which the offence might amount to.
The prisoner was then remanded to a future day, prepara-
tory to his being sent to Aylesbury for trial.

ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY.

Principal M'Farlan, before the Commission pro-
ceeded to business, said, there was a subject which
bad an especial claim to priority. There was no in-
stance, he believed, in which Divine Providence had
conferred a peculiar mark of favour on the Royal
Family, certainly there was no instance in which that
favour had been marked in the birth of a Prince,
that the members of the General Assembly of the
Church of Scotland had not considered it a sacred
and imperative duty to come forward and tender
to the Sovereign the homage of their con-
gratulations for the auspicious event, and their
thankfulness to Almighty God fur his goodness
to the mother for the preservation of her life and
that of the infant Prince. He would not at that hour
take up the time of the Court by indulging in any
tribute of praise of her Majesty the
.Queen, or to
speak of her conduct in her public capacity, or as a
private individual—of those qualities which called up
expressions of regard and admiration from all classes
of her Majesty's subjects, and which were the means
of securing to them the many blessings which, as a
nation and a Church, they had derived from her
reign. These feelings were still as warm and en-
thusiastic as ever, as was shown by the spontaneous
expressions of good-will and regard which had been
borne to her throne since the birth of the young
Prince. He would at once move, that an address
of congratulation for the auspicious event—for the
prospect of good health still afforded to the royal
mother and the infant Prince—and, above all, for the
additional comfort thereby accruing to the Royal
Family, as well as additional prosperity to the nation
at large ; and their hope that these blessings may be
continued and perpetuated to the latest times.—
(Hear, hear.)
The motion was cordially agreed to, as also an ad-
dress to the Prince Consort, on the motion of Bailie
Mack, and both were remitted to a small committee
to prepare and transmit.
The report of the Committee to frame regulations
for expediting the trials of students, reported thst
those as recently in force should be adhered to,
with some trifling alterations, which they recom-
mended.—Agreed to.

CANDLES SUPERIOR IN THEM BURN-
ING QUALITIES TO THE FINEST WAX are now retailed
throughout the Country at One Shilling per lb.
Parties who are in the habit of burning two tallow moulds of four
to the lb , are respectfully requested to make the experiment
whether a single " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLE" of six to the lb.
will not give more light ; and whether, therefore, these Candles do
not afford a cheaper source of light than the commonest tallow
ones, notwithstamding the difference in price per lb.
Care must be taken to ask for them in the shops under the name
given above, as there are some imitations sold under the name" Com-
posite," by which Price's Patent Candles were originally made
public.
The trade may obtain them wholesale from EDWARD PRICE
and CO.. Belmont, Vauxhall; or from PALMER and CO., Sutton-
