Stourbridge fair, formerly one of the most exien-
sive in England, and occupying an extent of ground
of nearly a mile in length, by half a mile in breadth,
was opened on Monday last : it is now only a shadow
of what it once was.

An Anti-Corn-law meeting was held at Lower
Tooting on Wednesday, at which Dr. Epps illus-
trated his address with a number of diagrams, pointing
out geographically that the Corn-laws were at direct
variance with the laws of nature, and in opposition to
the will of the Creator. Mr. Sidney Smith also ad-
dressed the meeting.
The result of the great hop fair at Robert's-bridge,
in East Sussex, was unfavourable ; so bad a fair is not
remembered.

The total number of live cattle imported into the
ports of London and Hull during September, has
been 3,062 head of cattle, 570 sheep and lambs, and
311 swine.

PUBLIC XVIPROVEVIENTS.
The Coinmissioners of Woods and Forests have let
the kitchen-garden and orchard of Kensington Palace,

on the site is to be of less value than 8001. or 900/. :
some of the houses will be worth 2,000/.
A new street is contemplated to be opened from
Notting-hill to High-street, Kensington.

state what day before Easter it was his intention to pro-
pose that the House should be adjourned. _ _

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Nottingham, March 11.
John Richardson, aged 23, was capitally indicted for eom-
miupon the body of Ann Hickson, at Flintham.
gin a rape
Of the committal of the offence thet e was clear and distinct
proof, and in spite of a vigorous cross 'examination, the prose-
cutrix stuck to her tale. The corroborating witnesses ap;
peared, however, throughout to have a pique against the pro •
secutrix, and did not corroborate her in any cne particular
that they did before the Magistrates. They spoke so much at
variance with her evidence that his Lordship, however much
he reprehended their conduct, was obliged to direct an acquittal
of the prisoner.
WILFUL MURDER AT MANSFIELD.—John Jones, alias
Samuel Moore, aged 24, was placed at the bar, charged with
the wilful murder of Mary Hallam, at Mansfield, by cutting
her throat with a knife.

The prisoner, who is a fine handsome young man, formerly
lodged with the deceased's parents, and had for some time paid
his addresses to her with success.A little before last Easter,
however, the intimacy broke off, owing to some violence on his
part, and the prisoner went to lodge at Mrs. Wragg's, in the
same yard ; still, however, speaking to the deceased at certain
times, loving her, as he says himself, "to destraction." She
had, however, formed an acquaintance with another person,
which gave him great uneasiness. On Thursday. Dec. 30, the
deceased returned home from the country, and at nigh
about half-past eight she went out into the yard, saying sht
would go and hear some news. She never returned. Search
was made for her everywhere, until at last the prisoner's shop,
which is a garret in the same yard, underwent inspection. By
getting on a table and chair a view through the window was
obtained, and there lay the lifeless body of the hapless girl,
with her throat cut in many places, and the floor a pool of
blood. The prisoner was apprehended in his lodgings within
three hours after the girl had left home, and on the road to the
lock-up confessed that it was he who did the murder ; that
he thought as he could not have her no one else should,
and that he intended to destroy himself ; but his mind
misgave him, and he was glad he had not done so,
as he ought to suffer publicly, as a warning to others.
The only palliation he endeavoured to make was, that the
crime was not premeditated ; that it was done in a moment.
He did not wish to be defended on his trial, and actually
at first pleaded guilty, but his Lordship would not receive the
plea, and tine people of Mansfield, who pitied his situation,
raised a subscription to defend him.
Mr. Miller addressed the Jury for the prisorer.
His LORDSHIP then summed up, and the Jury immediately
found the prisoner Guilty of Murder. He was sentenced to
execution.

Mr. BROTHERTON begged to ask the Right Hon.

he intended to propose any modification in the mode of
collecting the passenger tax on railways ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had reeeived various proposals for changing the mode in
hich the duty was at present levied ; and he had no
objection to consent to an alteration, provided the re-
venue was not diminished. He had made a proposal on
the subject to several parties connected with railways,
to which he had as yet received no answer.

Mr. GLADSTONE had no intention to proceed with

BANKRUPTCY LAWS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table of the
House his Bill for amending the laws relating
i to bank-
ruptcy. He would reserve any statement of his intentions
respecting this Bill till its second reading. At present he
should state that many of the provisions of the Bill were
founded on the report of Commissioners who had been ap-
pointed for the purpose of considering the laws relating to
bankruptcy. It wasoin some respects similar to the Bill on
this subject of his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord
Cottenham), who had preceded him (the Lord Chan-
cellor) on the Woolsack. Those points on which the
two Bills differed would be discussed at a further stage
of the Bill.

In answer to a question from Lord BROUGHAM,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that what he
proposed was this : It had been recommended by the
Commissioners referred to, and had been suggested, he
believed, by some of the principal merchants of the City
of London, that in consequence of the increased facilities
of communication the jurisdiction of the Commissioners
of Bankruptcy, which, according to old practice, was
confined to within forty miles of London, should be
extended throughout the island. He (the Lord Chan-
cellor) proposed to extend the jurisdiction in accord-
ance with that recommendation.

Earl FITZWILLIAM presented petitions against the
Corn-laws from several places in Northamptonshire,
the West Riding of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and
the county of Durham ; and also from the boroughs of
Sheffield and Sunderland. The Noble Lord said he
would take that opportunity of stating that he was never
so much astonished as he was at the proposition of Go-
vernment for a property tax. They might call it a pro-
perty tax, in order to get a little popularity, but it was
in reality an income tax. It would have been far better
if they had at once distinctly laid on a land tax. The
present proposition would be in effect a land tax.

MRS. THOMSON'S NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., post Bvo.,
ANNE BOLEYN,
By Mrs. A. T. THOMSON,
Author of " The Life of Henry VII, &c."
- "Nothing daunted by difficulties Mrs. Thomson has boldly
plunged into the stream, and selecting one of the most stirring,
most brilliant, but, alas ! most sanguinary periods in our his-
tory; has woven from it a romance at once valuable for its
' vraiemblance,' entertaining for its adventure, and delightful
for the sentiments, the reflections and the observations which
are scattered with a well regulated abundance through its
pages. Our author has taken the sad history of Anne Boleyn
for her text, and tracing her from youthful and quiet days at
Hever Castle, through her short and troubled reign, down to
its premature termination on the scaffold, has given us a pic-
ture of the mind, and manners and motives of that ill-fated
Princess, only to he equalled in fidelity by that which the ini-
mitable Holbein has left us of her outward lineaments. But
Anne is only one of a brilliant and lifelike group. The coarse
and brutal Henry is sketched with masterly strokes, while the
courtly and gifted Wyatt, the gallant ill-fated Surrey, and all
the other noted personages of the period in which the scene of
the romance is laid, are treated with equal skill and fidelity."

MISCELLANEOUS.
_

The will of the late Marquis of Hertford "is said to be
one of the most remarkable documents ever bequeathed to
posterity. The present Marquis, we believe, succeeds to one
hundred thousand pounds per annum. Lady Strachan, Mar-
chioness di Salsa, has a large jointure. La Comtesse Richi has
the sum of two hundred thousand pounds, the house in Regent's.
park, and a prospective lawsuit respecting some casket at
Messrs. Courts' : at least so runs the tale. The lady's maid to
the Lady Strachan is left a property, the estimated value of
which varies from one hundred and fifty to two hundred thou-
sand pounds. Lord Henry Seymour, nil. The wines, said to be
worth ten thousand pounds, are left to a comparative stranger."
The number of persons vaccinated in London and its vicinity

Yesterday, in 1757, Admiral Byng was shot at Portsmouth.
Also, in 1561, James Crichton, better known as the " Ad-

public exhibitions of his genius at the University of Padua,
and disputed with the Doctors for six hours. Crichton was a
native of Scotland ; his father was Lord Advocate from 1561
to 1573; his mother was daughter of Sir James Stuart, and
allied to the Royal family of England.
Prince Paul Esterhazy has finally made up his mind to retire

Mr. BARING gave notice that to-morrow he should
ask a question of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of
her Majesty's Government, in order to ascertain the pro-
posed mode of enforcing payment of the income tax.
Mr. BROTHERTON begged to ask the Right Hon.
Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether
he intended to propose any modification in the mode of
collecting the passenger tax on railways ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had received various proposals for changing the mode in
which the duty was at present levied ; and he bad no
objection to consent to an alteration, provided the re-
venue was not diminished. He had made a proposal on
the subject to several parties connected with railways,
to which he had as yet received no answer.
Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY wished to ask the
Right Hon. Gentleman, the Vice-President bf the Board
of Trade, whether it was his intention to bring on the

41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is:naseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resisfng all acids, may be cleaned as Ailver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

its beeoming an article of universul wear.

tion of the duty on the exportation of coals came to be
considered, he should take the sense of the House upon it.

IRISH SPIRITS.

Mr. O'CONNELL, in an almost inaudible tone of
voice, put a question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
relative to the duty on Irish spirits; and he wished to
know whether Scotch spirits were to compete with the
Irish market ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
duty would now stand in Ireland as it did in England.

NORFOLK RURAL POLICE.

CORN-LAWS.

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented a petition
for the repeal of the Corn-laws from Newtownards, in
the county of Down, unanimously agreed to at a public
meeting, convened by public requisition. Newtownards
is the principal town on the estate of the Marquis of
Londonderry, and is situate in the centre of a district
entirely agricultural. The petition is signed by 1,600
inhabitants of that town. The petitioners state that they
are chiefly working men, having no other property but
the labour of their hands. That your Honourable
House has passed laws to raise the price of bread, al-
though you have refused to pass any law to keep up
wages. Your petitioners all( ge that this is unjust legis-
lation ; and they therefore pray your Honourable House
to blot out, and for ever, the broad-tax from the statute-
books of the United Kingdom.
Mr. MARK PHILIPS presented a petition from a
parish in Manchester, stating that the distress
now prevailing among the poorer classes of the
country, was owing to the duties upon the neces-

individual in Manchester, praying for the abolition of
the law of primogeniture.
Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from the Mayor

COPY OF ♦ DESPATCH FROM THE EARL OF ABERDEEN

TO HER MAJESTY'S AMBASSADOR. ♦T PARIS, DATED
FOREIGN-OFFICE, JAN. 28, 1842.
My Lord,—My attention has been directed to the Report in
the Mimiteur, of a speech delivered in the Chamber of Depu.
ties by Monsieur Guizot, on the 20th inst. On that occasion
his Excellency read in the Tribune an account of a conversa-
tion between the Count de St. Aulaire and myself, which had
reference to the French possessions in Africa, and which had
been transmitted by the Ambassador to the French Minister.
In this relation, the Count de St. Aulaire observes—"l began
by asserting that the security of our African possessions was
for us an interest of the highest importance, which he could
not allow to give way before any consideration; and Lord
Aberdeen, after having listened to me attentively, said, I am
very glad to be able to explain myself distinctly to you upon
this point. I was Minister in 1830. If I were to back to that
time, I should have much to say ; but I take affairs as they are
in 1841, and in the state in which they have been left by
preceding Cabinets ; I therefore look upon your position in
Africa as a fait accompli, against which I have no further ob-
jection to make."

Now, I readily subscribe to the accuracy of this statement,
with the exception of the last sentence. I never said that I had
now no objection to make to the establishment of the French in
Algiers ; but that I had now no observation to make on the
subject, and that it was my intention to be silent. The con-
text shows that such was my meaning ; and, in fact, this deci-
sion was the result of mature reflection. I felt that, after ten
years of acquiescence, any objections at the present moment
would have been misplaced; and that the course which it would
have been impossible Lr me formerly to have adopted, had
now become entirely consistent with propriety and duty. It
does not follow, however, that objections, although not ex-
pressed, may not he entertained.
I have explained to the French Ambassador the misappre-
hension into, which he had fallen, and the erroneous statement
which, in consequence, he had made to his Government.
With the same object in view, your Excellency will have the
goodness to read this despatch to M: Guizot.—l
(Signed) ABERDEEN.
His Excellency the Lord Cowley, &c.
