SAW. 17.  The Crown prosecutors are anxious to being William Crow before the commission. From some circumstances which have transpired, it appease probable that he was not guiltless of the blood of Mr. Watson. There is a romantic story connected with the acquaintance of Mr. Watson and Crow which will appear in the evidence for the crown.

Since that period a third brother, charged with the same has been on his keeping, sad, of course, must have shelter from the neighbmn. However when the onaviation of Frewen was noised abroad, it eaused a general peels amongst the shelterers, and all determined to avoid the risk of a similar sentence. The result has been, that every door has been closed in the face of the third Cody, and on Wednesday be came into town and surrendered himself ! This circumstance is one worthy of eongratulation, and shows that, if laws sufficiently stringent and adequate to the necessity which demands them are enacted, the evildoer will be deterred from his ways of wickedness, and crime will be suppremed.

Debentures for 921. 6e., should be registered as stock at 901. ; the Reduced Five per Cents. in the same proportion at 75/. • Reduced Fours at 601., and the present stock shares at 151; Grand Canal stock rules miserably low.
