Lnrd MELVILLE had a dinner party on Sunday, at the Aduairalty. The LORD MAYOR has adopted the plan of last year, of limiting the number of tickets for the Easter Ball, whereby the company will be more select and respectable, and the inconvenience so generally complained of in former years by the numerous and in. discriminate issue of tickets will be avoided. A few public-spirited individuals, accompanied by an Alderman of the City, on Saturday last raised a subscription among the bankers and inhabitants of Lombard-street, for the purpose of widening the entrance of that street next the Mansion-house, and in a few hours collected upwards of 2,0001. Tuesday afternoon, the body of a woman, the head nearly severed from the body, was found in her bed, Paisley Loan, Corbels, Glasgow, by two of her children, on their return home to dinner from a cotton work in that neighbourhood. Iler husband, James Devon, an Irishman, has been fully committed to take his trial fur the atrocious deed. The last time the poor woman was seen alive, she was sitting upon a small stool, at a distance from thehed where the corpse was afterwards found. It would appear that the murderer had come behind her, mid, in effecting his horrid purpose, had drawn a razor obliquely upwards with such strength that the windpipe was completely severed, by a cut to the depth of two inches, and the tongue cut completely tin ouLlt ecee the root! The sight was most shocking. When told lie was committed to take his trial fur the murder, the culprit was gt: atly agitated.
