The ,iffeatfter and-Crops thellfghlaticte—We have at last toeneoutice the ;getting in of spring, after a long tract of cold and dry weather. The last three weeks, of the latter character, have been most favourable for getting the spring corn into the ground in fine order, and since Sunday we have had a succession of genial showers and warmth, under the influence of which nature has rapidly assumed a spring appearance. Winter wheat, which was beginning to look sickly, from the effects of frost and sun-heat, again looks green and healthy; and clover grass is well stooled and promises fairly. Oat and bean sowing is nearly over, and barley commencing. The frost has brought clay soils into 0, fine tilth, and the Carse of Gowrie looks like a new dressed garden. Potatoes will be extensively planted this year, apprehensions of the taint having greatly subsided. Prices are high for sound quality for good seed, particularly the York Regents, and other proved white varieties—averaging 80s. a boll. Yesterday the wind shifted, and we bad heavy rain, with easterly gales, all day.—Perth Courier. _  TA. Murder in Mesttninster.—An inquest was held on Tuesday on the body of Maria Eddon, who was found stabbed in the neck OD Sunday morning, in Wilton Row, Westminster, and a verdict of wilful murder was returned against William Tomkins, who has been committed for trial. • •  A patriotic offer is about to be made by the militia and other.lnhabitants of Jersey to the Government to dispense with the presence there of any portion of the army, now ao much required in England and Ireland, and themselves to undertake the guard of the various military stations of the island.  We regret to announce the death of Major Henry Bertles, which took place at his residence, 66, Pembroke Place, Liverpool, on the 13th inst. This gallant officer entered the army as enaign, in the 36th Regiment, in 1799. In 1800 he accompanied the expedition to Belle Isle, and obtained his lieutenancy in the 82d Regiment. In 1803 be obtained his oonynny, and in 1807 served under Lord Cathcart, at CoPnnhagen; was selected by Sir George Smith, gave up the hen of the arsenal, and covered the retreat of the regiment. In the same year he joined the expedition under Sir trent Spencer. In 1808 he was appointed major of brinde to General Bowen and after the battles of Roleia  tance of the Legialature, for the safety of the thousands whew fires are entrnsted to the caprice of masters, restricting steam. vessels steaming daring fogs. The Senator, which was a vessel about three hundred tons burden, was worked on the screw principle, and rigged as a three-masted schooner. She left Dublin for the Thames, we understand, on Saturday morning with a full cargo, and a number of passengers. The weather was very unsettled, with squalls from the S.S.W. On Sunday night fogs came on, which were of such a character as to prevent any obetaele being discernible within s cablei length' yet the Vessel steamed on. The ootuteettance was that the Senator, about three o'clock, miscalculated the distance of the Land's-end light, and ran into Whitsand-bay, close to Sinner-cove, and got ashore, striking broadside on. On her critical position being discovered the ' coast-guard service afforded the moat effectual aid to the unfortunate persons on board, who were conducted ashore in safety. By the last amounts it was difficult to say if there wee any chance of the rope being got off. She *as buried several feet in the lands, andC honey sea was lashing her broadside fearfully; and, what was worse, there was no appearance of the weather moderating.—Olobe. _ _
