Glavow Pollee Board.—The Commissioners held an adjourned Meeting, on Friday night—Mr. Johnston in the chair. A letter was read from i‘lr. Forbes, Town Clerk, stating that no definite answer could be given to the memorial of the Commissioners regarding the Municipal and Police Rill till information was received from London. After the road. lug of this letter, the Commissioners unanimously agreed to co-operate with the Commissioners of the suburban districts in opposing the new Police Bill. In consequence of the severe illness of Lady Hepburn at Rome, it is with much regret we state that the Honourable Bart., Sir Thomas Hepburn, M.P. for the county of Haddington, has been obliged to pair off for three months with Mr. Robert Holland, M.P. for Hastings. The last accounts of the state of Lady Hepburn's health, were of a very desponding character.—Berwick Warder.  - . Death of Madame Castellan.—Rumoure were current on Friday in the musical circles of the death of thig vocalist. From the inquiries made, we learn that letters are in town from St. Petersburg, stating that she expired after a very short illness from a neglected cold, in that capital, where she had been singing at the Italian Opera. Madame Castellan appeared last season at her Majesty's Theatre, and was reengaged for the present year.—Morning Chronicle., Rise in time Price of Potatoes in London.—On Friday, the price of potatoes advanced &1., and on some kinds Is. per cwt. A pound of good potatoes cannot now be purchased under hi. and lid.; and for one pound of the best bread the charge is, with very few exceptions, 21d., or Sid. to 10d. per four pound loaf, the price having advanced id. within the last two or three days.—Morning Chronicle.  Murder and Suicide,—A young married woman named Stork, aged 16, was found murdered this morning about seven o'clock, in the kitchen, of the house of her father (Mr. Baxter), where she and her husband resided, at No. 16, Arbour-square, Commercial-road East, and in an adjoining apartment lay the body of the Murderer, her husband, about 26 years of age, with his throat cut from ear to ear. The husband was of a morose and ill-tempered disposition and was heard on Tuesday night abusing his wife, and calling her by the most odious names. Yesterday morning Mr. Baxter remonstrated with his son-in-law upon his conduct; and it is supposed that this remonstrance rankled in his . mind until the above hour this morning, when the unhappy wretch first murdered his wife, and then committed suicide. There were other persons in the house, but no noise was , heard to excite suspicion, so silently were the horrid deeds of murder and suicide committed.—London Paper of Thurs.. "ay .
