MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.  A person, named Pearson, a labouring man, at Randyland, near Brampton, has been committed to Carlisle gaol, charged with the murder of his wife. It appears that Pearson, in company with his wife, reached home on Monday night, the former being intoxicated. Some time after they entered into the house, the neighbours heard a great noise proceedirrs from the room they occupied. Pearson was using very violent language, and in a short time after blows were struck by the prisoner, and cries of " Murder !" heard. The neighbours interfered, but their attempts were frustrated by Pearson declaring he would serve them in the same way if they offered to speak to him. Comparative quietness appears to have followed this, and it seems that the deceased had been preparing to go to bed when Pearson again attacked her with a stick. The neighbours were again aroused, and, on getting to the door, found the deceased outside of the house, quite naked, and in a pitiable state from the bruises she had received. She was then invited into the house of one of the neighbours, to keep out of Pearson's way. She, however, declined doil, so, and again went into her own room. There she had not remained long, as she was seen early in the morning, still quite naked, in a field about twenty yards from the house, by an individual from Brampton, who had occasion to pass along the road, and who heard Pearson telling her, in an Angry manner, to get up and go into the house. It appears she obeyed him, and with difficulty reached the bed, and in a short time she was found lying there dead, her body presenting a shocking spectacle from the brutal treatment sho had received. The principal wounds were on the head and neck, and from these the blood was flowing copiously, and had stained nearly every article in the room. Pearson, on the result of his conduct being communicated to him, betrayed the most hardened indifference ; and while the corps was being laid out, was engaged in drinking from a bottle of spirits he held in his hand. An inquest was held on Thursday, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder' brought in.  in , The great improvements introduced the Forest of Dean by the making iron there, has given a stimulus to the neighbouring works, which will probably be felt on Thursday, when the Lydbrook ;yorks, on the confines of the Forest, are to abide the uncertain izte of the hammer. The re-action which has taken place in the iron trade during the last year, and the extraordinary and steady rise which has taken place, will surely be influential with our me ied men. It is contiguous to the rail-road, and in direct comuainication with the rivers Severn and Wye.  A negociation is at present on the tapir between Messrs. Robert and Severini, the directors of the Italian Opera in Paris, and the assignees of Mr. Chambers, for the King's Theatre in London. The only question in dispute between the parties is, we understand, the extent of time for the duration of the lease. The assignees wish to limit it to one year, a term to which, with some appearance of justice, Messrs. Robert and Severini decidedly object as unreasonably short.— French Paper.
