as on last Monday, but all other descriptions were exceedingly
heavy sale, and only a small quantity could be got off, the sup-
ply continuing much larger than the demand. A few superior
tine samples of new Barley obtained last week's prices, but the

Atz—Bousseatis Dream.

Hope no more, in peace he aleepeth,
All his pains and toils are o'er;
'Tis thine eye alone that weepoth—
His is clos'd, to ope no more !
He bath gain'd that unknown river,

He bath found a hero's grave;
There his head, in peace, for ever
Rests beneath the dashing wave!
We, like him, our barks are guiding

Swiftly to an unknown shore;
Here we know is no abiding—
There is rest for evermore!
PILOT through this mighty ocean,
Loan of earth, and air, and sea,
THOU canst still the wild wave's motion—
AU our hopes are lied on vim!

NORTH AMERICAN EXPEDITION.

MONTREAL, AUGUST 25.
A letter has been received from a person belonging
to the Expedition under Captain Franklin, across the
continent of North America, dated in June last, on
the borders of the barren ground, only fifteen miles
from Hearns River, in about 64, north latitude, and
110, west long. from Greenwich : all the members
of the company were in good health and spirits ; and
had passed a very agreeable winter, living on the
flesh of rein deers ; which animal abounds in those
regions, and passed the encampment of the party in
immense droves. The encampment was made in
September last, when further progress became im-
practicable ; the party consisted of Captain Franklin
and two or three Naval Officers, one seaman, nine-
teen Canadian voyageurs, and seventeen Indians;
making in all forty persons: they were to commence,
during June, their passage down Ilearns River.

The yellow fever was brought to Marseilles by a
Danish brig called the Nisalino. This brig put into
Fomague to perform quarantine with the dead body
of a sailor on board. This unfortunate man having
been attacked by the yellow fever, was, according to
the report of the physicians, most inhumanly left to
himself in the hold. After death, the body was al-
lowed to remain amidst filth and putridity for several
days. On the 15th of September, an Austrian brig
from Cyprus unluckily anchored to the leewardaa
the Nisalino. The hold being opened for the removal
of the dead body, the noxious effluvia was carried by
the wind on board the Austrian vessel. The Captain•
of the Austrian brig and two seamen were immedi-
ately taken ill, and being removed to the Lazaretto
of Marseilles, died there two days after.
ATTEMPT To MUnDEß.—Wednesday morning, be-
tween the hours of one and two, a most inhuman and
monstrous attempt at murder was perpetrated by a
villain named Patrick Fitzgerald, on the body of his
own wife, who was in the last stage of pregnancy.
The particulars of the horrid attempt ate of the fol-
lowing atrocious nature :—The unlOrtunate victim
is
an intetesting girl, about seventeen years of age, and
at the age of fourteen wax married to her inhuman
husband, who is a fellow of the most ferocious ap-
pearance, and standing nearly six feet high, about
forty years of age. A few days after the marriage
was solemnized, the monster deset:ed her, and the
unhappy girl was sheltered at the habitation of her
aged parents. The viilaln, after six months absence,
returned, and plundered her• of everything she pos-
sessed, but again absconded, and came borne at inter-
vals and used her in like manner. Tuesday night
he went to the house of the poor girl's father, in An-
gel and Porter-court, Golden-lane, St. Luke's, where
she resided, after being away from her eight month.
On his entering the room in which were the aged fa-
ther and mother, and his unhappy wife, who had
only a fe•.v days to go to her accouchement, his extra-
ordinary conduct excited the alarm .of her mother,
who observed him glance a look of terror at her un-
fortunate daughter; and in order to reconcile his
anger, she took hint to a public-house, and treated
him With some beer, and kept hint in conversation
till twelve o'clock at night. It was then agreed be-
tween them, to prevent quarrelling, that the mother
and daughter should sleep together in one bet, and
he and his father-in-law should sleep in another.
After the poor woman had got him to accede to the
proposal, she took him back to the house, gratified
at her success, and left him and his wife in the room
on the ground-floor, whilst she ws•ent up stairs to pre-
pare the beds. She had not been up stairs long be-
fore she beard the cry of " Murder!" and the shrieks
of her daughter ; the poor old (mature ran down
stairs into the room, when she observed the unhappy
girl lying on the floor weltering in her blood; the in-
human monster was kneeling on her stomach, with
a knife in his hand. The old woman attempted to
release her daughter from his vengeance, on which
the villain stabbed her in the arm, and also attempted
to cut her throat. By this time the neighbourhood
was all in an uproar, and the watchman broke into
the house, but the murderous villain made his escape
backwards. The unhappy girl was put to bed, and
a surgeon was sent for, when an extensive wound
was found at the back part of her bead, and also a
deep wound in the forehead. The poor creature, as
well as she was able, stated, that as soon as her mo-
ther had gone up stairs, the monster began to break
open her trunk, in which was all her baby-linen; she
endeavoured to prevent him, when he knocked her
down with the instrument he broke open the trunk with,
and then placed both his knees on her stomach, and
stabbed her in the forehead with a knife he took
from his pocket. Information of the horrid affair was
given at Worship-street Police Office, and Garton and
Hanley, two active officers, are in pursuit of the mon-
ster, who, we sincerely hope, will be speedily brought
to condign punishment. The poor girl was yester-
day expected to breathe her last.
Music A L KALEIDOSCOEE.—A very curious invention
has been made in the art of musical composition. Cards
are prepared, on each of which a bar of an air is ar-
ranged according to a certain rhythm and key. Four
packs of these cards, marked A B C and D, are mingled
together ; and, as the cards are drawn and arranged
before a performer in the order of that series, it will
be found an original air is obtained. The cards hitherto
made are as waltzes, and suCteed perfectly. The inven-
tion may be called mattical permutation. It has received
however, improperly, that of the musical kaleidoscope.
