SELF-MURDER.

A truly appalling case of self-murder has occurred
in this city (Worcester). On Tuesday night last,
about half-past nine o'clock, Mr. J. Knight, for
many years a cle►k in the banking esteblishment of
Messrs. Berwick, Lerh►nerc, told Co., repaired to the
house of Mr. Biggs, Mealcheapen-st Feet, and knocked
at the door for admittance. The door was opened
Icy a son of Mr. Biggs, who, on encountering Mr.
Knight, refused to allow him to enter, observing
that he (Knight) knew his father had forbid hint
the house some time ago. Knight, however, per-
sisted in going into the shop in spite of the remon-
strances of the lad, and whilst the conversation was
passing, between them Mrs. Biggs joined them, and
recommended hint to go home. He refused, and,
in reply to a question of what he wanted, he an-
swered that he came there to destroy himself; then
drawing a pistol from his pocket, he placed it to his
car, and twice struck down the lock, but the pistol
did not go off. Thus frustrated, the desperate man
next produced his razor-case, which was snatci►ed at
by Mrs. Biggs, but she obtained possession of the lid .
only, with which she ran into the parlour. As soon
as her back was turned, Knight opened one of the
razors, and exclaimed" Here goes," but upon a per-
son named Young, who had been sitting in the par-
lour with Mrs. Biggs, making his appearance, and
remonstrating with him on the impropriety of his
conduct, he burst into tears, and shut sp the razor.
Young having left the shop Knight asked the lad
to put out the candle. Ile refused to do so, when
he immediately extinguished it himself, and, in the
short interval of time occupied by the boy in going
for another light, the wretched man consummated
his d►reful purpose. On the return of young Biggs
he found him reclining against a package of bags,
grasping a razor in his right handond blood gushing
from his throat. Mr. Morris and Mr. F. Stevenson
surgeons, were speedily at the dreadful scene. Their
skill, however, availed nothing, so completely had lie
accomplished his dire intent, having divided the in-
ternal jugular vein by a gash four inches in length—
and within half an hour of the deed he became a

corpse.
On Wednesday evening, at five o'clock, a jury as-
sembled at the City Arms Inn. The general tenor
of the evidence went to show that the unfortunate
man was in the full possession of his senses up to the
moment of his laying violent hands upon himself;
neither did it appear that he was intoxicated, and,
after deliberating upwards of am hour, the jury re-
turned a verdict of Feb) de se.

At twelve o'clock the same night the body was
interred, without funeral rites, in the burial-ground
near the House of Industry. The deceased was 51
years of age. and has left a wife and several grown
up daughters.—Worcester Herald.

CADIZ, JAN. 4.—(Front a Private Letter.)—
" Yost brow that three French merchantmen, cap-
tured by Algerine pirates, have been taken into the
ports of the Emperor of Morocco. I learn by a
letter from Tangier, dated the 21st December, that
in consequence of strict orders given by the Empe-
ror, none of the goods belonging to these ships are
to be sold ; that persons who had bought a part of
them have been put in prison; and, lastly) that the
Algerine Consul has been obliged to give security
for the value of the prizes.
" These measures will, perhaps, oblige the captors
to leave the ports of Morocco and proceed to Algiers,
and the vesaels may thus be retaken by the French
ships of war truizing on that coast."
PARIs, JAN. 24.—The Deputies Witt yesterday,
to the number of about 200, in the Hail where the,y
usually hold their Sittings, in consequence of an in-
vitation sihich had been sent to their residences.
The object of this Convocation was to be present at
the reading of the Ordinance for the opening of the
Chambers on the 27th of the present month ; to
coosinate the Grand Deputation which, on that day,
is to go and receive the King; to hear the letter read
by which the Marquess de Breze invites them to be
present at the mass of the Holy Ghost, which will
be celebrated the day before at Notre Dame; and
lastly, to distribute among themselves the 95 tickets,
which admit their families to be present at the so-
lemnity of the opening of the Chambers.
M. Labbey de Posnpieres, as the senior Member
present, acted as President, and drew by_ lot the
names of the twenty-four Members who are to oom-
pose the Deputation.

'PARIS, JAN. 2.5.—1 t is evident to every man who
knows any thing of public airtirs, thnt the relations
between Russia and England, though not hostile,
have, since the war in the East, ceased to be friendly.
These two Powers, both of which pretend to an
equal influence over the Continent, must have differed
from the moment the Treaty of Ackerman was
abrogated. 1 hey do not carry on open war, but
they watch each other, and each tries to gain allies
in case of a rupture. In this position they place
great value on the friendship of France. She alone
can disturb the equilibrium of the two parties, one
of which takes Austria and the other Prussia is its
train,

LISBON NEWS.

(From the Morning Herald.)

" We have just received (by express) letters
from our Correspondent at Lisbon, from which we
make the following extracts :
__.

." LasHoN, Saturdiy Evening (Jan. 17), Eight &dock.

" The rumours' of this 'day are respecting
.the
Officers who have been arrested, and who are to be
tried by Don Miguel's Mixed Special Commission,
from the sentence of which there is no appeal. The
Brigadier-General Moreira will, it is said, be exe-
cuted as soon as Chaves' two regiments (14th and
17th Infantry) arrive in Lisbon ; for there cannot be
dependence placed on the soldiers here. Some of
the Serjearits of the Marines have fled on board the
packet for England.
" A quantity of letters 'coming from on board a
vessel in the river was seized two days ago, and
many more people are in jeopardy. Report has
spoken of the seizure of despatches belonging to
the Brazilian Consul here, which, as they came
from England, have been read, and several per-
sons, even ladies of title, are said to be apprehen-
sive of arrest. A man who was going to prison
yesterday, met his friend, who spoke to him-4 I
am going to prison, and I really do not know why?'
lam sorry for it.' Are yon ?' said the Police
guard-4 then come too ;12.r you must be as bad us
he.' And both went. Mit

" Rumours. of- some tfattirbances in Oporto have
b Zen current. It is said that two respectable persons
there have been condemned to be executed, and
that the people have shown strong symptoms of re-
volt. The Governor has sent to the Government
here to remove the •4th Regiment, on which he
places but little reliance.
" The following is an account of the prisoners
confined near Lisbon on the 9th instant :
Castle of St. George—Officers
Civilians and soldiers 300-150
In the Gaol of the City..,
In the Gaol of the District B5O
In the Ecclesiastical Prison 250

Spanish prisoners on board 932—in the hospital 8 91.0

' Besides 500 were removed last week to Abran-
tes from the sea coast.

" Rumour was busy in the beginning of the week
in stating that three Portuguese of high rank were
about to he tried and to be executed—viz. Pedro
de Mello Brcyner, the most upright lawyer in Por-
tugal ; Barradac, one of the Royal Council before
Don Miguel arrived ; and the notorious Conde de
Subserra, who have been confined for many months
in Belem Castle. I have not heard the rumour
confirmed.

" Ascoli, having moved for a new trial, has had
his case revised, and the Judges, in derision of jus-
tice, have ordered him to quit the country.
" The exchange on England has got up a little to-
day, in consequence of the report of the loan offered
by the Marquis de la Croix, but nobody will believe
that that is his real object.

It is said that Sir W. Curtis had insurcd his
life in different offices for 100,000/.

Some years ago a Scotch gentleman, who
went to London for the first time, took the uppermost
story of a lodging-house, and was very much surprised to
find What he thought the genteelest place in the, whole at
the lowest price. His filends who came to see him in
vain acquainted him with the mistake he had been guilty
of. "He k.n'd vary wee)," he said, " what gentility
was, and when he had lived all his life in a sexth story, he
was not come to London to live upon the groond."— Top-
ham's Letters, p. 10.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE:A young
man, a painter with Messrs. Clelland and Co., Hanover-
street, left his lodgings on Tuesday evening, the 6th inst.
about seven o'clock, with the intention, as was supposed,
of calling upon a friend ; but from that peliod he has not
been heard of. For some time past, several of his Re-. •
quaintances had remarked an occasional vacancy in his
manner, but not sufficiently marked to lead to a conjec-
tore of his having wandered from the effect of a temperary
aberration. Peing a young man rather remarkable than
otherwise for regularity and sobriety, his present disap-
pearance has excited considerable suspicion and alarm,—
As this is not a solitary instance of the kind which has
taken place within these few weeks, we conceive it to be
of a character demanding investigation.—Edinburgh
Evening Courant.
A correspondent has sent us the following
particulars, which may, perhaps, be the means of bringing
to light another atrocity, in addition to those already he-
-I.4re the public. One of the visiting members of the Desti-
tute Sick Society got an application on the 14th July last,
for assistance from the Society's funds, from a woman of
the name of Preston or Pearson, who resided in Tanner's
Close, West Port ; but, on his calling at the only house in
that close (which he has since learned was Hare's) he was
somewhat surprised to be informed that the woman was
dead. The circumstance was no more thought of by him
till after Burke's trial, where the mention of Tanner's
Close recalled the affair to his memory; and recollecting
that a surgeon had been sent to the woman, he was ap •
plied to, and remembered having called twice, but on the
second occasion he was told " that she had gone to reside
on the opposite side of the street, rod had since died." The
woman was ill of an asthmatic 'complaint.—Caledonian
Mercury.
