The day's proceedings of the Rifleman and Sharpshooter on Saturday, which we noticed yesterday, restilted in the Rifleman (wood), of 100 horse-power, heading the Sharpshooter (iron), of 202 horse-power, without consuming two-thirds so much fuel. The Rifleman steams 23 miles with one ton of coals, at the speed of i knots per hour. They anchored in Yarmouth Roads at sunset on Saturday night, and lay there all day on Sunday. This morning they started afresh upon their cruise, which they are to continue until they have encountered a heavy gale of wind, in order to ascertain the superior power of the Sharpshooter when the Rifleman can make no head way. From the above our readers will perceive the error we fell into in our detail of the intended cruise on Saturday. For Sharpshooter read Rifleman throughout the paragraph alluded to, which will set matters in their proper light. Wind, S.W. by S.; fresh gales, and squally weather, with rain.

NOTTINGHAM, SUNDAY MoßNlNG.—Searcel had the sensation caused by the melancholy fate of th Bev. W.chain subsided, whoa the town was uain throwninto a state of excitement by the suicide of a young woman, named Phoebe Green, aged twentyfive, residing. in Cumberland-street, and who had lived .for about six years with Mr. Aulton, lace manufacturer. An inquest was held on the body on Thursday night, and by adjournment on Friday, when the evidence went to prove that the unfortunate young woman hid taken a quantity of laudanum, in consequence of its having come to her knowledge that Mr. Aulton was about to be married to another person. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity."— At the time this adjourned inquest was holding a most tragic affair was nearly comsuininated at the residence of a young woman of the name of Cant, whose occupation is that of a lace-mender in one of the warehouses of the town. It appears that some time since she became acquainted with a young man named Everard Gadd, a joiner, whose father was averse to the acquaintance, sad tried every means in his power to break it off. 'They were, however, frequently heard. to say, that "if they could not live together they would die together," and on Friday last proceeded to carry that threat into execution. A quantity of arsenic was procured from the shop of a druggist; they then mixed the poison with a ' small portion of flour, and made two cakes, which they ate, the young woman taking the greater share. The effects soon became visible, and a person in the house was immediately dispatched for the young man's father. Surgical at once procured, the stomach-pump was vigorously, arid after passing a night of applied . ai d most was excruciating torment, more favourable symptoms were visible on Saturday. Medical aid was also procured in the case of the young woman, who suffered even snore than her lover. 'they may both, however, be considered out of danger.  ABSURDITY OF BUILDING HOUSES AS IF Fon
