The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the " HALL
of COMMERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this
Institution.

It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a
single individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com-
munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit
worthy the metropolis of the world.
The subscription is now placed on so moderate a scale as to
he no object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences
offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
existing establishments appropriated to specific branches of
trade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large
body of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
London occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
from the Continent and other foreign ports. •

A letter from Rome, Dee. 28, in the Unzversat
German Gazette, says :—" The French journals will announce
perhaps, that some troubles are taking place in this capital.
To avoid all mistakes, this is what has occurred :—The public
dancers had the right, from a very distant period, of appearing
on the stage in exceedingly thin clothing. This became at
last so scandalous, that the authorities had ordered the dancers
of the Apollo Theatre to dress more decently. This change
was not to the taste of the public, and, both in and out of the
theatre, some quarrels took place between the citizens and the
military. Some persons were arrested, and order was then
restored."

DREADFUL MURDER, AND ERE-

CUTION IN JAMAICA.

The Jamaica papers give an account of a dreadful case
of violation and murder, rendered more horrible by the
circumstances attending the execution of the criminals.
The story is the more remarkable, too, from the circum-
stance, that the crime was discovered by the confessions
of the perpetrators, extorted from them by the agonies of
remorse. Two men, of the name of Pendrill and Reeve,
alias Chitty, were imprisoned for some minor offences, in
two prisons at 'a distance from each other ; the one at
Falmouth, and the other at Kingston. Both of them, in
their sleeping as well as waking moments, made such
revelations respecting a crime they had committed, that
they were brought to trial for it. On the trial, the evi-
dence of the persons in whose hearing they had made
these revelations was brought forward. Some parts of it
were as follows :—Thomas Anderson said he had been
confined in the Falmouth district prison for assault. He
knew Pendrill, and saw him in January. They occupied
the same room. During the nights, Pendrill used to he
very much agitated ; he would call out in his sleep,
" What do you want with me ? I did'nt kill you ; go
away." He tossed his arms about, tore his clothes, and
stripped himself quite naked. One morning after he had
been calling`but in his sleep in this manner in the
Penitentiary, Pendrill then told witness that he and
Reeve (Chitty), coming from Falmouth, had met a girl
whom they had carried into the bush, and murdered.
Other witnesses described similar conduct, on the pat
of Reeve (or Chitty), in Kingston prison. Upon this evi-
dence, and corroboratory facts, the two culprits were
convicted. They were executed at Falmouth on the
30th of November. • On the scaffold they behaved with
the utmost composure, and, notwithstanding the exhor-
tations of the clergyman who attended them, steadily,
denied their guilt. The appalling circumstances attend-
ing the conclusion of the scene are thus detailed by the
Cornwall Chronicle :—His reverence the Rector then
commenced to read the funeral service, and while the
tremulous tones of his voice still resounded in the ears of
these wretched men, the drop fell from beneath their
feet, and there succeeded a scene of horror which we
heartily pray we may never witness anything like again.
The rope with which Chitty was suspended broke by the
violence of the fall, occasioned by the length of slack al-
lowed him ; the cap which covered Fendrill's face being
too big and unfastened was blown off, and the dreadful
emotions of his features from the agonies of death on
the countenance of the unfortunate sufferer became pain-
fully visible to the gaze of the surrounding spectators,
many of whom burst into tears, and nearly all uttered
ejaculations of the harrowing sensations with which
they were agitated. Chitty, in the meantime, without
assistance, quickly got upon his legs, unhurt, and imme-
diately exclaimed, "This is fair play ; fair play for it."
This exclamation he reiterated several times, with slight
variations in the collocation of the words. Meantime a
messenger was dispatched on horseback for a fresh
supply of rope, while old Bacchus, the executioner, was
mechanically engaged in knotting another noose from
the fragment of rope which remained. The wretched
man continued to declare his innocence of the murder,
and declared that he never knew the girl, he never saw
her, &c.,with a great degree of volubility and vehemence;
after which, observing the executioner with the noose in
his hand, he said, " I will take my chance w ith that."
He again ascended the step ladder, the top of which was
used for a drop. He made no faltering stop. On
gaining the upper landing, and while the executioner
was making preparation, he exclaimed, " Oh, Mighty
Lord Jesus—guilty sinners shall be cast into hell—if
in Heaven thou can save me—if cast into hell thou
canst!see me—l suffer death like a man—l never knew the
girl—l never saw the girl, but lam doomed to death for
thou only one." After a pause he addressed himself in
prayer. When he had left off speaking, Mr. Macintyro
advanced to the front of the scaffold and addressed him:
—Sam Reeve, it has pleased the Lord to give you fur-
ther time to join again with me in prayer, let us then—
the Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to read the funeral
service, where he had left off ; while so engaged, the
step ladder was very adroitly tripped up, and the wretched
sufferer once more swung off, his cap was again blown
away, and his features exposed in a similar manner to
Pendrill's. His sufferings must have been very great ;
his body was dreadfully convulsed for two or three mi-
nutes, during which time he repeatedly kicked the then
lifeless body of his fellow prisoner, which hung below
him, and at one time raised both his legs and placed
them upon Pendrill's shoulders, thus adding another ac-
companiment to the completion of this scene of horror.

MANUFACTURING DISTRESS INPRANCE.—The
National publishes the following letter, signed by a number of
manufacturers of Cambrai:—

-TO---
" THE EDITOR OF THE ' NATIOYAL.'

" As the Minister has not feared to affirm that commerce is
in a prosperous condition, and as a controversy may be raised
on this assertion, we send you some information relative to the
pesition of ma- arrondissement, the most considerable in the
department of the north.
" Never since 1815 were commercial affairs in a worse
position.
" The trade in cambrics is completely null.
" A crisis exists amongst the cotton and woollen manufac-
turers. The operative weavers can only earn from 10 to 15
sous a day.
The oil trade, which formed the most important branch of
commerce in the arrondissement, is so completely paralysed,
that a mill, which some time since cost 100,000 f., would not
sell for 20,(;00f.
" The value of house property has fallen 40 per cent., and
what is worse, landed property has fallen 33 per cent.
" There is in fact but one trade in a prosperous condition,
and that is the trade of a banker, who discounts at 7 and
per cent.
" We defy the Government to contradict a single one of our
assertions, and we are ready to prove what we advance.
" We authorise you to publish this letter.

INSULT TO THE CATHOLICS OF IRELAND.-UREAT
MEETING or THE CATHOLICS OF DUNDALK.—On yester-
day, pursuant to a requisition numerously and influentially
signed, a meeting of the Catholics of Dundalk was held in the
old chapel, to express their indignation at the foul and SAWA-
tious course pursued by the Crown prosecutors in striking off
the names of the Catholics from the jury list, and thereby in-
timating that they could not be trusted on their oaths. '1 he
meeting was the most crowded ever witnessed within the walls
of any building in the town, and was comyosed of the wealth
and respectability, the bone and sinew of the town and neigh-
bourhood...—Dublin Pilot.

on the road to Rennes:—" Sixteen men were employed in
sweeping one of the work-shops, the floor of which was co-
vered with lead, vthen they soon found themselves much af-
fected by deleterious emanations, and hastened away. "I he
evil, however, was done. They were all poisoned. Every re-
medy their cases required was immediately administered, but
two of them died, and the rest are in a serious state, though
hopes of saving them are entertained. The magistracy has
instituted an inquiry in order, if possible, to prevent arecur-
rence of similar consequences.
TIIE COMMERCIAL GREATNESS OF ENGLAND.—
In consequence of the extension of our possessions in the East
Indies, and the opening of the various ports in the Chinese
seas, acquired by the late treaty with the Emperor of China,
which has occasioned an extensive demand for our manu-
factures, a very large supply of shipping, for the export of
the various commodities, has been advertised at Lloyd's during
the previous week to be ready to start for their respective
foreign ports in the course of the ensuing month. The
number of ships announced to leave the various docks ad-
joining the River '1 names and Gravesend, for Madras, Cal-
cutta, Bombay, Australia, China, Bong-Kong, and other
parts of the east, amounts to above 60, whose tetinage varies,
each vessel from 300 to 1,000 and upwards. Of these, one
firm, whose establishment is at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, fur-
nishes nine vessels (five of them being above 1,003 tons each,
and which collectively amount to 7,150 tons). Another firm
in London sends out five ships (of these three carry above 1,000
tons, and the five collectively 4,850 tons). Included in the
above list of the commercial fleet arc the following Bile of packet
and mail packet vessels :—The regular packet fur Australia,

AIURDER.—We have been informed that an atro-
cious case of murder was perpetrated at the village of Loch-
gilphead on Thursday last. So far as we have learned, an
unmarried man, named Peter Campbell, a schoolmaster there,
who lived in the same house with his mother and aunt, assaulted
his relatives on the day in question, and with a razor almost
severed the head of his aunt trom her body. from which death,
of course, resulted instantaneously. The infuriated man was
in the act of murdering his mother, when her screams attracted
the notice of Mr. 11E11111as], of the Stag Bin, who burst open
the door, and with a stick knocked the razor from Campbell's
hand, and secured him. The poor woman is severely cut
about the face, neck, and arms, and is dangerously ill. The
man, regarding whose insanity there can be little doubt, has
bean taken to Inverary gaol.—Glasgow Herald.
LOCUSTS.—PomnAr, Nov. 29.—A few days back
we had a visit from a fight of locusts ; they slid not, however,
settle, but passing over the harbour took an easterly' direction;
they were several hundred feet above the earth, and appeared
like a dense cloud Cleating in the air. From the space,of time
the mass occupied in passing, it is imagined they must have
extended at least ten miles. Sometime in last month a large
body of these insects alighted in the Deccan, about 150 miles
from Bombay, consuming the vegetation for mi'es round.
Many of the superstitious natives are apprehensive this visita •
tion is the forerunner of a famine or scarcity. Had they made
their appearance be ore the monsoon there might have been
some cause for alarm, but now, all the crops ate housed, and a
most abundant supply of every kind of grain secured, so that
it is difficult to understand why they think so,

TORY POLICY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—From the first formation of the present Minis-
try, no doubt ever entered my mind but, that as a Tory
Government, they would act. Tory and Whig politics
are so essentially opposed, the one (Tory) governing
for the people (oligarchically), and the other with the
the people, that it is impossible for a leader of either
party to act differently from that party to which he
belongs. And this the Tories knew when they placed
themselves under the guidance of Sir R. Peel, that they
placed themselves under a Tory leader, bred up in the
oligarchical system of government ; and that, in the true
spirit of that system, the country, at home and abroad,
would be governed. This the Liberals felt when they
withdrew their confidence from the late Government,
that they (the late Government) were becoming shy of
their principles. Look at Sir R. Peel's government of
England—lreland. Look at his foreign policy. Again,
his income-tax. In every essential it is a true Tory
Government.• The income-tax—a lit xatious impost,
injurious to industry as an additional tax, is
essentially useful in bringing food for the crib,
to which so many hungry Tories are continually
hurrying. Extravagance, ever an ingredient in the
legislation of the representatives of the people, knows
no bounds under a Tory majority. Exceeding Tory is
our foreign policy, cajoled or bullied by every power,
and this has invariably been our fate under a Tory
Government. With regard to Spain, Lord Aber-
deen has had but one object, the derange-
ment of Espartero's Government ; this likewise
being Louis Philippe's object. Between them it
has been speedily effected. Lord Aberdeen for
consistency sake, in having espoused Don Carlos' cause
—Louis Philippe from selfish motives, in the advantage
he might gain from the disorders that were certain to
arise. If Lord Aberdeen did not foresee the disorders
that inevitably would arise, what a wretched cat's-paw
he has been in the service of Louis Philippe. And if he
did, it marks the risks that he would run against
Liberal principles. This is Lord Aberdeen ; but Lord
Aberdeen is of the Cabinet, where these things are dis-
cussed, and of which Cabinet Sir Robert Peel is at the
head. Look to Ireland. The dismissal of magistrates
for advocating the cause of Repeal. The non-dismissal
of other magistrates (of opposite politics) for abuse of
power. The job, in face of the Act of Parliament, re-
garding Irish Church livings—the State trials—the
miserable schemes to secure a conviction, and last, the
striking out every Catholic from the jury list on the
ground of his religion. Is not this most essentially
Tory—and is not Sir Robert Peel at the head of the
Government, that authorises it ? Let the country enjoy
a Tory Government with a Tory leader if they like it.
But do not let it flatter itself, that there exists the least
modification of the old leaven. Your obedient servant,
Jai!. 11. A RETIRED LIBERAL.

A FORTUNATE NEWSMAN.—A poor honest worthy
man, in the vicinity of Shrewsbury, is about to emerge
into comparative affluence. Thomas Williams, known
many years in that town as " the Llandrinio Post," and
who has conveyed the Shrewsbury Chronicle, half a cen-
tury, lately received a letter from Liverpool, informing
him that a brother died in Jamaica, bequeathing to him,
as his nearest relative, two estates there, and 14,0001.
Honest Tom Williams suspected this letter to be a hoax,
thought nothing about it, and never named it to his
family. At length a letter was received by the post-
master of Shrewsbury, inquiring whether a person, such
as we have stated the Llandrinio postman to be, was in
existence, arid the result is, that Thomas Williams is the
fortunate man.—Hereford Journal.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—A Baltimore corre-
spondent of the New York Hoald, who was present at
the marriage, on the 12th instant, of the lion. Carroll
Spence, to a grand-daughter of the late Charlis
Carroll, of Carrollton, writes, "It was indeed a
most magnificent display, comprising the beauty
of the city, and that beauty rendered still more attrac-
tive by surrounding objects, and the anxious ex-
pectation of the company to see the bride and groom
ent.r. In parlours magnificently furnished, the walls
hung with works of the old masters, chandeliers sus-
pended from the ceiling, brackets and other ornaments
of the most beautiful form and workmanship ar-
ranged round the rooms, large and costly mirrors
reflecting the splendour of the apartments, were
gathered together of Baltimore " the young, the gay,
the beautiful." All was gaiety, all life and activity.
The rich jewels of Madam Bonaparte, and which, by
the way, are said to be the most valuable in the country,
glittered magnificently as she moved. She is unques-
tionably- the most beautiful woman of her age, in Bal-
timore, and is battling with time, inch by inch, with
an energy only exhibited by one of the fair sex, when
they possess an object which they deem worthy the use of
their powers. There, too, among the great ones of the
land, were to be seen Mr. Richard Caton and his lady,
a Ito is the daughter of the late Charles Carroll of
Carrollton, and mother of the Honourable Lady Wel-
lesley, &c. Rumour says it is the intention of the
Caton family to dispose of their landed property in
this country and spend their remaining days in Europe.
Jerome Bonapate, who bears a strict resemblance
to his uncle, was also one of the company, with a
host of others. At about nine o'clock the company
had all assembled and anxiously awaited the consum-
mation—when the doors of the adjoining parlour were
thrown open, and four groomsmen appropriately ar-
rayed, each accompanied by a bridemaid, entered, fol-
ioaed by the couple who are now man and wife. Never
have we seen two persons, judging from appearance,
better calculated to make each other happy. While the
Venerable Dr. Wyatt was performing the ceremony not
a voice was heard—all was still—still as the hour of
death, and in that stillness we heard the compact scaled,
" Carroll and Rebecca, I pronounce thee man and wife."
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JAN.
15.—Though there have not been so many buyers in the
market, we have had a very fair demand for flannels, at
former prices. The wool market has been brisk, and
prices are looking up.
STATE or TRADE.—Owing to the excitement pre-
vailing in the Liverpool cotton market, there was a very
unsettled and irregular market here yesterday. Spin-
ners and manufacturers generally demanded an advance
about equal to that which has taken place on the raw
material ; but the buyers, though disposed to purchase
rather frt ely at a small advance on previous rates, were
not generally inclined to give the prices demanded, and
the amount of business done was rather limited, though,
in mo-t cases, at the rates demanded by the sellers.—

GRAY'S INN, JAN. 17.—John Romilly, Esq., re-
cently appointed one of her Majesty's Counsel, took his
seat this day, as a Bendier of the ion. Society of Gray's
Inn.

SPLENDID SPECULATION.—Saturday a gentleman
in London sold for the sum of 75,0001., a piece of land,
on the Seacombe side of Wallasey Pool, which he bought,
two years ago, for 8,0001. The land has a good and
extensive frontage to the tool, and IA hen the grand plan
of converting the pool into a dock is completed, it will be
one of the most valuable estates on its banks.
HORRIBLE DEATII 01 A BLIND JEWESS BY FIRE.
—Yesterday Sir. Baker held an inquest at the London Hos-
ital on the body of Catherine Levy, a Jewess, aged 54 years.
It appeared by the evidence that the deceased resided with her
brother in a room, at No. 10, Fireball-court, Houndsditeh.
She was totally blind, and such was their extreme destitution
that she was unable to pay any person to attend upon her,
and her brother was compelled to leave her at home by
herself whilst he sold a few articles in the streets to support
them. On Monday morning last he left her, as usual, about
ten o'clock. At one the landlord of the house, Sir. Netts,
heard a scream of .‘ Oh, I am on fire," proceeding from de-
ceased's room, and upon going up stairs to ascertaia the cause
he hound her lying on the floor enveloped in flames. By great
exertions he extinguished the fire, and the engines having
arrived one of the firemen got deceased out of the room, and
having placed her in a cab took her to the above hospital,
%Isere she died on the following morning, the house surgeon
said from the effects of the severe burns she received. Verdict
Accidental death."

AN HONOURABLE REWARD.—Ina late number of
our journal we recorded the brave act of our respected towns-
man, 6ir W alter Buchannan Riddell, Bart., in plunging into
the mill-head of Messrs. Mercer and Parton'smill, on the night
of the 26th of December last, and rescuing a woman who had
either fallen or had been thrown into the water, at that deep
mid dangerous spot. 'I he paragraph being quoted in the London
papers, at? racted the attention of the Secretary of the Royal
Humane Society, who wrote to us for the confirmation of
the statement, and any further particulars we might be
able to afford. We immediately complied with so agreeable
a requisition, and we have since received from the secretary
ot the noble institution in question the following communi-
caiion, which we have sincere gratification in laying before
our readers :—" Trafalgar-square, January 10.—Sir, I have
touch pleasure in informing you that the Royal Humane
Society has awarded its honorary silver medallion to Sir W.
Riddell, fart., for his courage and humanity in saving the
woman's life on the 26th ult.—l remain, Sir, your obeient
servant, R. WESTROTP. Mr. Edward Pickard Hall, Maid-
stone." We may mist, what we were not previously aware
ot, that when Sir Walter so chivalrously plunged into the
water, which was at that spot seven feet and a half deep,
and running with a strong current through a low arch-
way under the mill, the Hon. Baronet was encumbered with
his great-coat, which he did not wait to divest himself of, and
also that after getting the woman out of the water, he carried
her to her lodgings, sent for a surgeon, and remained in his
wet clothes for upwards of an hour, in fact, till he had assured
himself that every possible care was being taken of the poor
creature. It is almost miraculous that Sir Walter should have
escaped the usual consequences of such exposure to wet and
cold, but we rejoice to learn that he has not suffered in the
slightest degree, and we trust he will enjoy many years of
health and happiness, experiencing the serenity of mind
which virtue and benevolence produce, and receiving the
esteem and respect of all who know his worth.-14.faidsione
