RNA RVON.--It is now ascertained beyond doubt that Mr. Assheton Smith retires from the representation of Carnarvonshire ; and we understand an under canvass is going on for a Tory candidate either in the person of Mr.' Ormsby Gore's son, just come of age, or the son of Mr. Wynne, of Voelas. We never expected from Mr. Smith on his retirement, the same open candour as Sir R. Bulkeley evinced towards the constituency of Anglesey. It is in perfect keeping with his sense of propriety that he should attempt to nominate his successor. But we can tell him that Carnarvonshire is no more Tory than Anglesey. The next election will prove that the freeholders are determined to be represented, which will only be the case by a thorough going Reformer being elected. We warn the freeholders to reserve their votes, and not to be cajoled into pledges, nor even into neutrality. Their suffrages will be solicited as early as is necessary, on behalf of a respected resident landed proprietor, of liberal politics, an ardent Reformer, of high personal character, and second to none in respectability, ability, energy, and devotedness to the cause of rational Reform, and civil and religious liberty. We make this announcement advisedly and on authority.—Carnarven Herald.  PARRoTs.—They could be procured as far up the tributary waters of the Ohio as the great Kenaway, the Scioto, the heads of the Miami, the mouth of the Manimec at its junction with Lake Erie, on the Illinois river, and sometimes as far north-east as Lake Ontario, 'and along the eastern districts as far as the boundary line between Virginia and Maryland. At the present day few are to be found higher than Cincinnati, nor is it until you reach the mouth of the Ohio that paroquets arc met with in considerable numbers. I should think that along the Mississippi there is not now half the number that existed fifteen years ago.—Audubon. Miss E. TREE'S FIRST APPEARANCE IN AMEracA.—A New York Paper, speaking of the debut of our favourite actress, Miss Ellen Tree, at the Park Theatre, on the 12th ult., says :—" The appearance of Miss Ellen Tree at the Park Theatre, on the 12th ult., drew together one of the most brilliant audiences ever witnessed there. For several days previously every available box place had been secured. Her reception was most flattering. She opened in Rosalind, and on the following night she played Lady Townley, in the Provoked Husband." The New York critics speak highly of Miss Tree's appearance and fascinating manners. They pronounce her a finished and engaging actress, but declare that she wants power and energy. Mrs. Hamblin, the daughter of the late Mr. Blanchard, of Covent-garden, and the wife of the proprietor of the late Bowery Theatre at New York, had taken a benefit at the National Theatre there, for the avowed purpose of enabling her to proceed to England, to institute legal steps against Mr. Wood, the singer, for having, during his recent visit to America, defamed her character.  On Tuesday night the engine-house belonging to the Right Hon. Lord Saye and Sele, at Erith, Kent, was broken into, and a large quantity of leaden pipe and other articles stolen therefrom. A reward of 101. is offered for the apprehension of the offenders.  Between six and seven o'cicck on Monday evening the neighbourhood of Munster-street, Regent's Park, was thrown into a state of strong excitement by the discovery being made that a married lady, named Savage, who was living in a style of great respectability, and had for the last twelve month resided at No. 48, in Munster-street, had committed suicide, by nearly severing her head from her body. It appears that a female servant was proceeding to the upper part of the house, when, in passing the door of the deceased's bed-room, she heard a noise like the sound orwater dripping on the floor, and, on entering the apartaunt to ascertain the cause, she observed a dark-coloured str !am on the carpet, and, approaching the bed, was horrorstruck at discovering her mistress, with her clothes saturated with blood, lying extended across the foot, and having a frightful wound in the throat, reaching nearly from ear to ear. Surgical aid was procured as promptly as possible, but in the lapse of a very short time the deceased had ceased to exist. The wound, which has completely divided the neck to the bone, must have been made with uncommon determination, and was, it appears, inflicted with two common tableknives, which, with a steel, evidently used to sharpen them, were found on the bed, covered with blood. No cause can be assigned for the dreadful act. The deceased was living separate from her husband, but possessed an independency of her own. She had complained of feeling slightly indisposed two or three days ago, but on Monday nothing remarkable was observed in her manners or appearance. A Coroner's inquest will be held on the body. Letters from Hamburgh to the 11th inst. state that the complaint called the grippe was very prevalent there, upwards of 50,000 persons having been attacked. It is not, however, represented as fatal.
