FROM A CORRESPONDENT.—Her Majesty with the
most gracious kindness and consideration has granted an
apartment in Hampton Court Palace to the Miss Pottingers,
sisters of Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart., and also to the orphan
family of Sir Lionel Smith, Bart., and Lady Smith.
PAUPERS AND PRISONERS.—Returns have been
directed to be forthwith prepared for the House of Lords, on
the respective motions of Lord Vivian and Lord Godolphin,
of the average number of paupers in the parishes of each of
the unions of England and Wales, for the three years prior
to the passing of the new Poor-law, and in the unions for the
three years last past, and the cost of maintenance, including
all charge; together with the number of illegitimate chil-
dren receiving parochial relief, stating their per centage, as
compared to other paupers, and the present population in
the different unions. Also a return of all prisoners confined
in the gaols of England and Wales, on the Ist of February,
1844, committed by the Commissioners of Taxes for non-
payment of surcharges upon game duties; specifying those
who had previously been punished by fine or imprisonment
by magistrates under the Game Acts, for the same offence
under which the surcharge was made. These returns were
severally ordered to be laid before the House, so soon as they
shall have been_prepared.

SHOCKING PARRICIDE.—Some time since a work-
man and his wife, named Thourenin, were found murdered
in their residence, at Antigny-la-Tour (Meurthe). The
perpetrator of the dreadful crime has just been arrested, and
has confessed his guilt. He is the son of the murdered
couple It appears, from his statement, that, being over-
whelmed with debt, and knowing that his father was tired
of giving him money, he felt completely at a loss how
to extricate himself from his embarrassments. Learning
that the old couple had shortly before passed acts before
a notary, mutually giving each other their property, in
case of survival, he determined to get rid of them both
together, and inherit whatever they left. Accordingly, he
went to his mother, and asked her to give him a small quan-
tity of brandy for his wife, who was unwell. The old woman
proceeded to take the brandy from a cupboard, and, on turn-
ing round, received a violent blow from her son's hand
with a gun-barrel that was lying near. She fell without

THE QUEEN AND HER PEOPLE.—It is already
very manifest Lord John Russell's observation in the
House of Commons last week, that he knew the Queen was
anxious equal justice should be given to all her subjects, has
already produced a very great impression. It was sure to do so ;
the declaration was a most judicious one, and extremely well
timed. •
