of Stourton, in Wiltshire, has been thrown into a state°
alarm by the discovery of a murder, committed early i°
the evening of the Bth inst., on John Peacock, an ce'
offending inhabitant of Stourton, who was found shot ie

LIVERPOOL STOCK EXCHANGE.—In considerationof
the extremely laborious exertions required of the clerks
the brokers' offices during the winter and spring, thee!:
tlemen of the stock exchange have passed a resolutiorlg
give them three days' holiiay at the end of this week. n:
sincerely hope the resolution may be carried strictly in"'
effect, and that the brokers, without exception, will cies'
their offices during those days. We are confident the);
will be no losers by it in the end ; the relaxation gives,
will much better fit their clerks for increased exertion al.
terwards. We have been informed that several of th'
leading brokers will close their offices entirely.
FIRST VESSEL FROM CINCINNATTI.—By the gut'
kinguim, Captain W ells, which arrived in the Mersey, oa
Thursday last, direct from Cincinnatti (Ohio) and Neel
Orleans, being the .first vessel from the former Plec!,;-
where she was built and loaded, 1,535 miles above te,
mouth of the Mississippi, we have received Cincinnato
papers to the end of March. Our readers, on referrill
to the map of the United States, will mark with surptis_!,
the vast inland route passed by the Muskinguim on IT
passage down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers towards
New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Her course lei
through the very heart of the vast continent.
MISS BIFFIN.—This lady is now, we are informed' 1113
an extremely destitute condition. Our readers are elver
that, though deprived of both her hands, she is, nevertbee
less, able to use the brush, as arfttrtist and likeness-taken
with admirable adroitness, and enjoys a well-earned re;
putation, as numberless specimens of her skill, exhibiteri
in various parts of the town, will testify ; indeed, so wee t
is this the case, that many persons are slow to believe that
she execut2s her sketches, &c., without the assistance f
others. A benevolent correspondent in a local Peltr
says, however, that the matter may be easily tested I)/
a visit to her rooms, in Mount Pleasant. and that thee
l
who do so will retire convinced of her extraordinary t°:
lents as an artist, and be thereby induced to procure fe'•
her more general support than appears to have been Oa-
lized by her during her visit to this town."

THE ITUBARD GALLERY.-Mr. Norman; the cele,i
brated conductor of this establishment, is again locate",
amongst us, and we feel perfectly satisfied that this W.,:
only needs to lie known to render his success undouh'e"
The very many specimens he now displays in his windal
all of which are inimitable likenesses, is sufficient pre°
of his ability in outline. The most surprising thing t,,"
that these types of reality—any of which may be reeesii
nised as easily as the individuals themselves—have /0
been obtained without the knowledge of the parties•
the finish there is none of that stiffness that usually
racteri:es portraits of this kind •, they are free and grace'ua
The rapidity with which Mr. N. can produce them, e!,,
the consequent diminutive price, places them within ",;(
reach of every person desirous of possessing likenesses

themselves or their friends.
The will of the Marquis of Westminster has just b,,elie
proved. The personal estate in England, and within tit,

to her property under settlement. His estates at 12"5.s
minster and the manor of Ebury are bequeathed to 131
eldest son, the present Marquis ; his estates in Chester'
Flint, and Denbigh, as well as the presentation to the roe/
tory of Prestwich, Lancaster, to his son, Thomas ganft
