The only exceptions were such person * as might have pillaged the public property and Government functionaries who had joined in thc icvolt . Accorvtxo to "Madrid papers of the 21 st , much excitement had been caused by the departure of a _liri-nide for Cuenca , froin which place it could easily be directed upon cither Valencia or Aragon . There vrere _rui'ioar _** of agitations in Galieia and other pro-¦ _vicces on aecsunt of thc new tribute tax , but they

      -needed confirmation . The IIcraMo , under date of ten o cloek at night , announces thc eceipt of a _telcgrajihic despatch from Paris , warning thc authorities that Generals Prim and Ametler were trayelli :. . _* - towards Spain by way of _llourg Madame .

      ! The parishes at PointeLevi are filled with refugee * , as also Cliampliim Ward as far asSillcry Cove ; wc have , moreover , just heard that _Beauport , Lorcttc , and tho several villages adjacent , to the city are crowded . Within the walls but few houses , even of flie hi ghest respectability , are not crowded ; one gentleman ha 3 twenty-eight persons in his house , another fifty-five , and a third forty . In the two fires , at the least , 3000 houses have been consumed , and 20 , 000 persons rendered houseless . The following day ( Sunday ) , a large meeting of citizens was held in thc Parliament Buildings , wlien means for providing shelter and food for the sufferers werc agreed upou . Major General Sir James Hope

      kindly p laced at thc disposal of thc corporation tlic Splinter Proof Barracks , and 350 tents , which were put up in the Cove Field , by thc military , by five o ' clock in tbe _eyening . * * * * The scone was ono truly piteous . Hoary age , and helpless infancy , frail women , the sick and decrepid , halted iu _thesc bleak highways aud rude outbuildings , unable to fly further from the scone of danger ; there they sunk down , overwhelmed with despair . Some idea of thc sufferings of these broken-hearted people may be gathered from thc fact that two children , who were taken from a bed of fever , expired yesterday in a stable . A woman also expired from fright and exl _ , u * 'ion in an open field , and wc have been told that a man also died ia some wretched corner , on Sunday

This temporary relief was conducted by Mcssi _-s . Symcsand Faribault , who were assisted by Messrs . Frechette , jun ., Uuot , Fulton , _Prei-dergast , Jan ., and Evans . On Monday morning thc distribution of bread was made at the building of the Legislative Assembly , uuder the superintendence of _Messw . Faribault , Chabot , and Holt , and continued to a late hour . The number of individuals who wcre thus supplied with food was -1 S 00 , or 1100 families .

      _IMPORTANT NEWS FROM TEXAS . Wc take thc following extracts from the New York papers ; intelligence from Galveston to thc 23 rd ult . had been received by the Princeton steamer : — The _Tbeaty with Mexico iiE-ECTEn . —PnEsiOEXT Joxes ' s Message . —The Axxexatio . v Project _ADOITED UXAXIMOUSLT BY _CoXGRESS . The 11 CWS brought by tiie Princeton is of the most interesting character . Both houses of the Texan Congress have unanimously consented to the terms of the joint resolution of the U nited States . The Senate had rejected the treaty with Mexico by a unanimous vote . A re-olution was introduced into both Houses of Congress , requiring the executive to surrender all posts , navy varus , barracks , _ c , tothe proper authorities

      of thc United States . The joint resolutions were introduced into both Houses of Congress on the same day , and were almost identical in their tenor . The resolutions passed the Senate on the ISth of June , and were sent to thc house ; thc house laid them on the table , and passed their own resolutions unanimously , and sent tliem to the Senate on thc next day . In the meantime considerable jealousy arose as to wliich branch should claim the honour of the paternity of the resolutions ; and it was finally settled that thehouse should take up the resolutions ef the Senate , and amend them in the third section . The house then passed them in their present form , and sent them back to thc Senate , which body concurred in the amendment . ,

      Tbe Washington Union of the 3 rd announces the acceptance ofthe annexation of Texas on the terms proposed by the latter . It therefore appears that there is now no avoiding the full consummation ofthe scheme .

      MEXICO . The intelligence from Vera Cruz is to the 13 th ult . Axother Ahemm at Revolution . —We have already , say the Kew York papers , had accounts of another revolution _^ but this arrival gives fuller details of it than had reached ns . It seems that on the Cth of June , according to a letter in the Picayune , a regiment broke through the guard stationed at the Government Palace and took the President and Secretary of Foreign Relations prisoners ; but the revolutionists wcre immediately afterwards put down by tlic citizens and soldiers , and thc above distinguished personages set at libcrt _* -. In this affair , a colonel , a captain , asd about thirty of thc privates belonging to thc _inalcantents were killed , when quiet was once more restored . Many men in high stations in Mexico aro suspected of having a hand in causing this new outbreak , and it is said that cx-Seeretary Tornel bus been arrested and imprisoned .

      CUBA . Great Fisb at Mataxzas . —Loss Estimated at Eight IIcxDnED _Thousaxd Doixaus . —ThcA ew York Express of the evening preceding the Acadia ' s departure publishes the following : —Wc have a Havannah paper ofthe 28 th ult ., which gives us the details of a great fire in Matanzas , that happened ou the 2 l 3 tb . The following wc translate from La Aurora , a Matanzas paper of the 27 tii : —It appears that a severe calamity has befallen thc rich city of Matanzas . At half-past eight o clock , a . m ., thc bells ofthe parish church announced that thc richest part of the city was seized by the flames . Iu fact , the fire liad burst out , as we are informed , in a carpenter ' s shop , ia the Marina , where a large collection of timber supplied abundance of fuel to the flames . The fire immediately extended to thcadjacent buildings , which were all cf wood , and of such age ai to be highlv

      combustible , so that the conflagration extended rapidly towards the Royal Custom-house , on thc opposite corner , and to the house of Don Bartolme de la Mater , which wa * soon seized by the devouring element , threatening to consume tke whole town . It is three o ' clock in the afternoon , and we have just left the scene of the catastrophe ; and while the ruins of the edifices of the whole Marina arc consuming , the principal block , and another adjoining it , have disappeared . A great part of the contiguous blocks in the west have also been destroyed in part . We may truly say that what has been the general depot of the great part of thc commercial wealth of their city has now been made a prey to the flames . The losses have been incalculable , and consternation so great that the streets werc blocked up with men , women and children , flying for their lives from thc flames . The splendid house of Don Vicente dc Junco has been destroyed .

      INDIA AND CIIINA .-Overl \ xd Mail . Loxdox , Fkidat M 6 ; t . \ i . \ G , August 1 . —Despatches have been received , anticipating thc arrival of thc Overland Mail from Bombay . The dates are—Bombay , June 19 Calcutta . Juno S ; Madras , June 10 ; China , May 6 ; Egypt , July 19 ; and Malta , July 24 . Thc present mail , as far as political intelligence is concerned , is certainly a barren onc . From Scinde no news is usually good news , and wc see little reason for questioning the accuracy oftho definition on this occasion . From the Southern Mahratta country tve have no news save what relates to a few military movement * . Our new- from the Punjaub bearsreferonec principally to the ravages of cholera , which dreadful scourge has spread over the country far and wide , and in the city of Lahore lias cut off hundreds daily . Cholera has been very prevalent both at Bombay and Poonah . Thc news from China is of no interest .

" The meeting was held in the hall of the Literary and Scientific Institution , Johnstreet , Tottenhaia-coart-road . At three o ' clock T . S . Duncombe , Esq ,., M .

      Paper Makers , Maidstone—Messrs . Baker aul J . _MO 301 I . Plasterers , Manchester—Mr . W . Pubmer . Potters , Staffordshire _^—Mr . W . Evans . Trades of Bristol—Mr . J . Rogers . Do . Norwich—Mr . Lynes . Do . Yarmouth—Mr . Royal . Woolcombers , Bradford—Messrs . Mullins and George White . The following members of the Provisional Central Committee werc also present—Messrs . Fleming , Hobson , Skelton , and Barratt—and took part in the discussions , but did not vote .

      The chairman , in opening thc proceedings , congratulated the Conference on their again assembling to discuss subjects so important for tho benefit of the working classes . He could assure them that since tliey last met the Central Committee had not been unmindful of tlic interests of the working classes . Tliey had divided their plans of organisation into two distinct sections , namely , one for the better union of Trades generally , and the other for the better employment of surplus labour in agriculture and manulactuvcs . Thc more he ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) considered the plans which the committee had proposed , the more was ho convinced tliat they wcre the only ones which would have thc effect of permanently bcicfiting the working classes .

      ( Hear . ) They werc now assembled to discuss thc C lans which " the committee liad proposed , ililtl 1 ) _C oped that they would do so with temper and discretion . He was bound , however , to toll them , that he had received many communications , to thc effect that a sufficient space of time had not intervened between thc publication of thc plans , as drawn up by the committee , and the assembly of the Conference to consider them , to allow of tlic Trades goncraHy to send delegates . Indeed appeals had been made to thc committee to postpone the mccting _' of Conference , for some two or three months ; but the committee felt that it would have been an exercise of power liable to be called in question . The Conference that appointed the committee had fixed the day

      for the assembling of the second Conference ; and though the committee knew that the time between thc publication of the plans and the meeting was very snort—far too short—still all they could do was to convene the Conference , leaving it to the body when assembled to adjourn for a stated period if it thought such a course desirable , or at all likely to result in a better representation of thc Trades . The p lans had been promulgated as soon as tliey had been prepared , and they would have been prepared sooner , had the respective Trades , sooner responded to the call made on them for the detail information necessary for the committee , before drawing up their schemes of organisation . He had thus brought the mattor before them : if they thought

      it best to adjourn , tlicy had the power to do so . No desire being expressed to adjourn the meeting , Tbe Secretary read over the order of business . A list of standing orders was also submitted , which was agreed to nem . con . The report of the Provisional Committee was _brouglit up by the secretary , which , ou the motion of Mr . Berry , seconded by Mr . Aarons , was received , and read at fulllength . When it was concluded , Mr . Rogers rose and read a plan submitted by thc Trades of Bristol . Upon the motion being put that this plan should be received , Mr . W . Evans moved"That any attempt to form a general union on a plan combining the twofold principles of the organisation

      of Trades and Land allocation , will bo impracticable and prejudicial to the union now sought to be cemented "—which was seconded by Mr . Young . On the question being put , the Chairman declared the amendment carried . _^ The preamble o f the plan propounded by the _Provisiotal Committee was then submitted , and unanimously adopted . The further discussion of thc plan was adjourned until Tuesday morning , ten o cloek . The following members were appointed to audit the committee accounts ' —Messrs . liiish , Carpenter , W .

The practice at -Mansfield ivas that th wheel

The particulars of this caso appeared in this paper of July I 0 th . It will be remembered that the prisoner and the deceased cohabited together , and it is believed that it was to gain possession of a little property she was possessed of , and which she had left to him in her will , that hc committed the dreadful deed . He slept from homo thc night of tho murder , and on going to thc deceased's house next morning , pretended that he had just discovered that she had been murdered ; alleging that some one must have gotten into th q hoiise and killed the deceased for the purpose ot

      robbing her . The unfortunate woman had evidently struggled with her murderer ; thc cuts and bruises about the head , hands , and chest showed that she had defended herself courageously . Iler wholo bust wa 3 almost one mass of livid bruises ; while there was a terrible fracture of tho back part of her head . The floor was saturated in parts with blood , and large spots of blood marked the wall . " In the little back kitchen was afterwards found a hatchet , tho handle of which was covered with blood . The prisoner was immediately suspected to be tho murderer , and was taken into custody . He was sub sequently committed for trial on the capital charge . On the trial a great number of witnesses wcre examined , and by a train of the most satisfactory circumstantial evidence , the crime was brought home to the prisoner . Thejury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict of Guilty , and the learned judge immediately passed on thc unhappy man tho awful sentence of death .
