      The arguments in the case of ilr . M'Leod having been concluded , the Supreme Court took time to consider its judgrneat . It afterward made an cider , which was , " that inasmuch as it is impossible that any decision will bs made this term . M'Leod shall be committed to the custody of the Sheriff of New York , and that the Sheriff of Kiagara be discharged from responsibility . " The Sheriff of New York had , it was stated , refused 10 undertake the rapoaaMiiiy of the custody of the prisoner , who was Tery well treated in his peculiar circumstances . The Halifax papers are loud in their condemnation of the treatment which Mr . M'Leod had received at the h = i > ds of the Americans , and blames the EUDineno&s of the British Government on his behalf The New York papers , friendly to England , seem to fear that the tone assumed respecting the case of the prisoner may lead to a serious dispute between the two countries .

      The New York papers contain a letter from Mr . M'Leod . It denies positively the boastings alleged to have been male by him , that he was present at the destruction of the Caroline , and charges heavy persecEiioDs on the " patriots" of Buffalo , Lock ? ort , &c He ascribes his arrest and indictment wholly to the vengeaxce of the said " patriots , " and says that they have paaiihed him more than the public are aware .

These eight persons had embarked in the gig , which was towing astern , and fortunately for them , the rope which attached it to the vessel broke when she went down . They succeeded in pulling to White Island , where they remained until the following day , when they were taken off by the ship Wellington , M'Intvre , and brought to Grose Isle .

      Captain Outerbridge , of the unfortnnate Minstrel , behaved most gallantly dnring the awful scene , until be perished with the rest . He declared thst he would not leave the vessel until bis passengers were saved , and he was the last person seen by those who were in the gig .

" I would do so , " replied the . Peer , " but the Sheriff , when we meat , makes such demands upon my lime that I find it more pleasant to solicit by proxy . " Thb Crisis a > -d the Teetotallers . —An address to the teetotallers of Ireland will be published before iho dissolution , calling on them , as the moral regenerators of Ireland , by declarations of all their different Jbodies , to oppose themselves to bribery , and , by solemn pledges to their country , to promise to use every effort to discover and expose ail attempts ai corruption , —PUqU

The order , it is supposed , has been issued ia consequence of some annoyance experienced by her Majesty wh = n she proceeds publicly through the parks , or at ths reviews which occasionally take place .

      Destrcctine Fibs . —About a quarter before three o ' clock on Sunday morning last , an alarming fire took pla . es on the extensive premises belonging to Messrs . Fsirburn and Co ., engineers and boilermakers , situate near the river side at Mill-wall , Poplar , opposite Deptford dock-yard . It appeared to have commenced in the paint workshop , a small wooden building de-ach « d from the main premises , aiiu was nut extinguished uiitii the place was entirely burned down . Bkaxttifcl Wbiting . — We take the following choice specimen of writing from The Times : — " There is a meekness ( a pretty sly one , though ) and a malignity in dissent . The malignity prevails chiefly at Leicester / - There is a kind of a minister with us

      here , in whose black heart ail the devils seem to have quitted their native hell to reside . The Chartists , also , are a much more jolly straightforward set of fellows than the Whigs . " Whig Consistency . —There are some things almost too obvious to require remark , but which appear to escape observation . Such is the case of the Wbigs with regard to tie corn-laws . These sagacious and inconsistent persons , while they deprecate the cornlaws as a bread tax , actually bring forward a fixed duty on corn , by which they ' propose to raise a revenue of double the amount of that obtained from the laws they condemn . If this is not blowing hot and cold , we know not what is .

He felt a little feverish" before retiring to rest , and , in consequence , slept in % strange room .

The injuries sustained by the Alderman are not of snch a Eatare as to give his frieuds aiiy alarm , although it may be some time before he w ; il be able

Rioting at Liverpool . —We regret to state that fearful disturbances have arises at Liverpool , in consequence of the interference of a number of Irish labourers in the neighbourhood of the cocka v > nh the ship-carpenters , the latter being a very powerful body of amsans , and for the most part tutored under the Tory school . Several encounters hare taken place .- The police are all out and armed with cutlasses . The opposition by the Irish h& 3 been caused by an absurd display of an Urangeflag , which , with other Tory emblem-, have been daily paraded about the town since the 29 : h of May . In occ part of the town the windows of several honses have

      been completely demolished . Fracas between two Militarv Knights . —Mr . Chartes Hunt Lorimer , one of the Miliiary Kuiph's of Windsor , was summoned berore the Mayor by Major Lawrence , a brother Knight , for having , on the 5 th inst , threatened to cut complainant into little pieces , and makirg use of other threatening expressions . ' Major Lawrence deposed that on Saturday last he was walking from the Castle yard , and had not proceeded more than ten yards from H = nry the Eighth ' s gateway before he met Mr . Lorimer , who said , " You are a pretty fellow ! " Complainant , not hav ; ng had any communication with defendant for more than twelve months , was much astonished , and replied , ¦ ' Ye 3 , I consider myself a

      prettier fellow than you are . " Defendant then said , " You are a blackguardly rascal , and no gentleman . " Complainant turned round and walked with defendant into the Casde yard , and desired him to repeat what he had -jurt Eaid in the presence of a soldier who was then on sentry . Defendant immediately replied , " No , _ yon old blackguard , I will do no such thing , " continuing to walk bj his side . Defendant said , " By the lmD g God , wherever and whenever I get you out of this place , I will make a sad example of you and cut yon into pieces . " Complainant declared he never gave defendant ths least provocation to justify such conduct . The sentinel alluded to , being examined , corroborated that part of the Major ' s statement whieh toek place in his presence , and the magistrates bound both parties over to keep the peace .

      Admiral Elliot . —It is rumoured that Admiral Elliot , the brother of Lord Minto , and the " renowned ' Lero of Cbusan celebriiy , is about to be appointed to the lucrative command of Piymonth dockyard . The palpitation of this warrior ' s heart , we hear , has wonderfully improved since his hasty and spirited departure from his frieuds , the Ckinese ; and , alxhough unfit to do his duty and work abroad , he returns home from the scene of battle and difficnity to brother Minto , where he finds himself well ciiough to partake of the family board's influence , bj obtaining , an appointment deservedly the birthright of many a brave officer . So much , alas , for the Minto interest and impartiality in thus rewarding the gallant Elliot for his important services in Iiidia .

      Distressing Suicide op a Fbmalk Seryaht . — Mr . Baker , the Corcner , held an inquest on Saturday , at lie Old Turnpike House , Stamford Gate , Hackney , on the body of Caroline Goodwin , aged 21 , housemaid to Mrs . Caffray , of Stamford Hill . Sarah Cook said that the deceased had been in the service of Mrs , Caffray for the last eighteen months , and described herself as a single woman . About a month ago , in consequence of her increased size and other appearances , witness accused her of being enceinU , but the accused denied it .

Although witness had not been absent from her more than half a minute , the deceased had inflicted sach a deep wound that she must have died instantly . Witness thought deceased had been attached to one of the male servants , aad by whom she had recently been forsaken . Verdict—H Temporary insanity . "

      Steam versus Gas . —The Comsussioaers of the Metropolitan Roads , in consequence of the great reduction in the amount of tolls , owing to the improvement in travelling by railways , have given notice to the authorities of Kensington and other parishes that they have come to the determination to cease lighting the turnpike roads , so as to restrict their expenditure , and not deteriorate the efficiency of the roads nn . d » r their charge . Conjugal Tenderness . — The following ie the cjpy of a letter written and actually sent by an affectionate wife to her " dear husband , " who , having been capitally convicted , was latterly sent on board the Ganymede hulk at Woolwich , county Kent . The woman is at present resident at a town ia the eastern part of the same county . For obvious

      reasons we omit names , but give the remainder verbatim as it was written : —*\ Dear husband , —I take this opportunity of addressing these few lines to you , hoping to find you in good health , as it leaves me at present , thank God for it . Dear husband , I am going to change my line of life , and I hope it will be tor the better . I must tell you , I am going to be married , aud I hope you have no objection , for yoa know you have not behaved to me as a husband ought to have done , both you and your family have used me very ill , but everybody knows I never gave you any reason to ill-treat me . I have been to the overseers to ask their advice what I am to do , and they told me I had better get another husband , as I did not expect you would ever come home again . You need not fret about it , nor make yourself iu the leaEt alarmed at what I say , for I can assHre you it true

      is . The overseers of the parish are going to give the man ten pounds to take me out of the parish . I have invited your brother Robert to the wedding , and I wish you was at home to make one amongst us . I shall tell you the man ' s name is William . You need not forget me , for all that ; and if you should ever come where I am , I hope you will call and fee me , so I conclude , and still remain your affecvionaie wife , —Catherine . To William , Ganymede hulk , Woolwich , Kent . " IfthehuBband finds fault with this communication , he must be a very unreasonable man ! What could be more affectionate on the part of his late wife than the wish that he could be at her second wedding ? Why should friends fall out about trifles—the more so when it was with the advice and premium of the moral , virtuous , and high-minded guardians of the poor of the town of Ch d ?

      The Census . —At the Thames Police Court , on FrA&y , Catherine Harvey , an Irishwoman , living in Match walk , Shadwell , was charged by Mr . Currew , churchwarden , with refusing to give an account of the number of persons in her honse . When applied to . she said she would see the Government and the churchwarden d d before she'd split . The consequence of this refusal was , that the churchwarden could not make out his retHrn . Mr . Ballantine said he would reduce the penalty from £ 5 to 40 s . and in default of Mrs . Harvey paying the latter sum .

      he sentenced her to be imprisoned for a week . At the Marl borough-street police-office on the same day , Mr . Clavering , hosier , Regent quadrant , wa 3 summoned for refusing to answer the questions of the enumerator appointed to take the census for that district . When the paper was produced , the defendant would not give an explicit answer ; and when told that he was reqnired under a penalty to give a proper reply , ke d d the government for having legalised such an inquisitorial proceeding . The highest penalty ( £ 5 ) was then inflicted .

      Death Sentences on Aborigines . —A petition was on Wednesday week presented to the House of Commons of a curious and rather interesting character—namely , a petition of members and friends of the Society for the Protection of Aborigines , com-I a ; ning of the sentence of death on certain natives of iho Biy Murray tribe , for an alleged attack on the brigantine Maria , from Adelaide to New Zealand , wrecked near the southernmost point of South Australia . It prayed for inquiry into the circumstances of the case . The petition was merely ordered to lie on the table .

      Appropriation . —A man was charged at Bowstreet with robbery at Buckingham Palace , afew days 3 2 , o . He wa 3 a journeyman upholsterer employed at the Palace , and had " borrowed" a few pieces of the silk us ^ d in furnishing the apartments . The man said that ho viewed them only as " perquisites , " arid really in a place where p * rquisites are so plentiful as in the palace , and where so much plundar in the small way is continually going forward , some excuse must be allowed . Few continue very honest after being employed at Court , and , in verity , when robbery is charged on a poor fellow casually employed there , that fact ought not to be forgotten . It is probable that when h » got into the Palace , he thought he had a right to do as others

      did . The onl y wonder is that he confined himself to matters so insignificant as silk-snippings . A courtier would not have been half so easily contented . Attack on a Gaming House at Windsor . —On Wednesday wc . k there was a , Jarge party , consisting of the offic .-rs of the 6 th Rifles and several of the 1 st Life Guards , at tho mess at the infantry barracks , in Sheet-street , in consequence of several promotions whieh have recentl y taxen place in the Rifles , occasioned by vacancies caused by the decease of the Her . Colonel Molyneux . The festivities of the evening were kept up till past twelve o ' clock , when-a lar ^ e party proposed going to a well known gambling bcuse ( which has been tolerated in this town for upwards of twelve months ) and

      where several of the officers have been cheated of large sums of money , in Augusta-place , where they were immediately a'iaiiitca . What took place there before the row commenced , or what was the occasion of the havoc aud destruction which almost immediately afterwards ensued , we have not been able to ascertain . However , they had not been there more than half an hour , before there was a scene of the greatest confusion throughout the whole house , causing alarm and terror from the noise which was created , around the entire neighbourhood . The police were sent fur soon after one o ' clock , previously to which a portion of the 6 ih Rifles , who were on guard at the Castle , had been despatched to the scene of action , and whom the police met on their return to the guardroom . Upon Mr . Superintendent Gillmau and Serjeant Dobson , with several men , entering the house ( which they

      found empty , with the exception of ono of the gamblers , who , it appears , had secreted himself , ) they found scarcely one piece of furniture left whole . The green baize was torn off from the billiard and other tables ; the doors of the different rooms broken down ; the windows , with the sashes and frames , broken to pieces ; all the lamps smashed ; chairs and tables dislocated ; the fan-light over the front door gone ; and the balustrades upon the s : air 3 torn away . At this time the whole of the party had gone off , and as for the proprietors of the gamii-g-house , they were glad to effect their escape , during the disturbance , from the back of the premises , across the garden , into a large piece of waste land called the Lammas . It was expected that some complaint would hav « been lodged before the borough magistrates at the Town Hall ; but no application has been made to the bench on the subject .

      Desplrate attempt at Murder . —An excitement little inferior to that experienced at the assassina tion of the late Sergeant-Major Shepherd was felt a few days ago , in Woolwich , in consequence of a very p revalent rumour that a gunner in the Royal Artillery had shot a bombardier belonging to tho same regiment . Considerable doubts were at first felt as to the correctness of the report , but upon subsequent inquiries it was ascertained that it was but too true . A company belonging to the 4 th battalion of the Royal Artillery , commanded by Co . ' onel Ciiesney , has recently arrived at the garrison , after an absence of nearly ten years' service at Malta and in the Mediterranean . A gunner belonging to the company who had been on guard

      during the day in the Royal Arsenal , having charge of the convicts in that establishment , named M'Garrettey , retired , after being dismissed guard , to the Royal Artillery canteen , where he drank so freely as to become intoxicated , and subsequently entered into another quarrel with another gunner , by whom he was severely maltreated , his eye being cut in a dreadful manner . Several persons in the room , including another gunner of superior strength , interfered between the combatants , and prevented any further mischief being done . This was about halfpast seven . Shortly after this ,. M'Garrettej left the canteen , and proceeded in a state of intoxication to the barrack-room , in the eastern wing of the great arch . The

      unfortunate bombardier , whose name is John Grace , was standing at the time leaning over a desk , when M'Garrettey proceeded very deliberately to the plaoe where his mutket was , and taking it down , fired it at his victim . The shot entered the back back on the right side of the spinal column , and passed into the abdomen . Grace immediately fell , and an artilleryman who was passing the room , alarmed by the report of the musket , entered the room and discovered tbe prisoner , who at once declared that " he had shot the man . " The wounded man was conveyed to the Ordnance hospital , where Sir J . Webb , the principal officer of the department , was in attendance , aad every assistance was rendered to the sufferer . Sir Joha questioned him as to whether there had been any previous dtetcation , or whether he was aware that there was any cause for the

      offence . The wounded man replied , None whatever . ' The ball ia supposed to hare entered the liver , bnt as any attempt to probe the abdomen would be fatal , the exact seat of the wound is not known . M'Garretty , who baa been fifteen yean u the regiment , was immediately placed ander arrest . He u » man somewhat advanced in life , and bears a notoriously bad character is the regiment . Graoe is a married man , and highly respected in the company to whieh he belongs , and to which he acted as orderly . ' No cause can be assigned why , ( he prisoner should commit tbe atrocious act , but the fury of his passion , there being some resemblance in height and make to the gunner who had abused M'Garrettey . Grici has since died , and a Coroner ' s Jury have returned a verdict of wilful murder against M'Garrettey .

      Lobd John Russell , finding such never-ending "toil and trouble" connected with State business , is about to lighten the burthen , it is Baid , by the admixture of domestic Miss . His lordship intends to get married . When the important event occurs , it is thought that he will resign the direction of colonial affairs for the Home department . It is to be hoped , at least , that he will take care to get the honeymoon Ktftf over , before a fresh Parliament assembles . Everything in England proceeds at rail-road pace , and there is , therefore , nothing surprising in the fact that the Queen of such a country should produce a Royal family Hpon the same rapid principle that perrades every other department of national industry . Two confinements within twelve months are , indeed , something to be proud of , and if her Majesty should only gratify the nation by twins , tne result would , of courte , be doubly satisfactory .

      Madrid , Jane 3 . —A new commission has been a £ ai " named for taking into consideration the establishment of banks in the provinces for the purpose of furnishing funds to the agriculturists at a iair rate of interest . The minister of finance has not yet succeeded in obtaining any advances from the different capitalists , the latter trying to drive too hard a bargain . The resignation of this minister is talked of , and , although only a rumour , the funds declined yesterday to 26 ^ for cash , at which price they remain to-day . The ministry has just received

      a check in the chambers . In spite of their opposition to it , the cortes have adopted , by 82 against 52 , the project of the commission , to the effect that senators holding situations under government shall not receive any salary during the session . The member Loped has resigned . M . Calatrava has been named senator . The health of the young queen does not improve . The council of regency , and the guardians appointed by Ferdinand ' s will , in case of any unforeseen event to the queen-mother , have put in their claim to the guardianship .

      Ireland . —Two more murderous outrages have been committed in Ireland . One day lately , at two in the morning , the house of Patrick Nevil , at Clonmines , in the South of Kerry , was broken into by three men with blackened faces . Nevil was made to get up and give the robbers some £ 40 , which he had paved ; and in epite of his submission , when they lef t , one of them shot him in the breast with a pistol . Nevil held only two or three acres , and was but little above a mere labourer . His recovery is

      thought hopeless . Again , in Wexford , at Killeton House , near Ballylongford , a shot was fired into the bedroom of Mr . Wm . Hicke , a Justice of the Peace . Six balls passed through the window-glass and bed curtains , and lodged in the wall just above where Mr . Hicke lay . On the same night , a notice threatening to visit him with the fate of Mr . Brew was posted on his hall-door . Mr . Hioke is a Catholic and a Liberal . The expulsion of some refraotory tenants is thought to have been the cause of the attempt .

      Presentation of Plate to the late Sheriffs Evans and Wheelton—On Saturday last the subscribers to the Sheriffs' Plate Fund gave a banquet to those distinguished public officers , at the West India Dock Tavern , Blackwall , London . Hughes Hughes , Esq . was in the chair , supported by a large party of influential gentlemen of various and opposite political opinions , but who cordially united on this occasion to testify their admiration of tho manly and constitutional resistance which theso worthy High Sheriffs of London and Middlesex had made against the arbitrary power assumed by the ( late ' . ) House of Commons . About seventy JaUies and gentlemen sat down to dinner . Amongst the latter

      were the late High Sheriffs , also Messrs . Charles Pe . arsou ( City solicitor ) , James ( secondary ) , the Rev , John Jennings , A . M ., James Anderson , Esq ., Richard Carpenter , Esq ., Th » mas Saunders , Esq-, Messrs . France and Palmer , Mesi-rs . Eagletoa , King , Illidge , < fec . After dinner , the Chairman addressed Messrs . Evans and Wheelton in appropriate terms , and at the conclusion of his address , ' . he splendid silver waiter and two ice-pails , the whole weighing above 400 ounces , was presented to the late Sheriff Evans , and the superb candelabrum and epergne , weighing 294 ounces , to the lato Sheriff Wheelton , amidst the unanimous cheers and plaudits of the company . Both gentlemen acknowledged the compliment in suitable terms .

      The Queen of Hanover . —We find , from the German papers , that the health of tho Queen of Hanover is in a very unsatisfactory state . One of these journals has the following letter from Hanover , dated June 2 : — "The inhabitants of this city are very uneasy respecting the health of her Majesty the Queen . It appears , from certain circumstances , that her disorder has not abated ; since yesterday evening the access to Leinstrasse ( the street which pa = S' : s by the royal palace ) is stopped , so that only pedestrians can no through it , and the evening patrol of the military band it suspended in order not to disturb her Majesty . However , though her Majesty , as we hear has had a restless night , the physioians ,

      it iB Baid , have expressed somo hope to-day . It is generally reported that Professor Sohmlein , at Berlin , naa been requested to come here and give his advice . May all turn out well . Tho celebration of his Majesty ' s birthday was very restricted , on account of the melancholy situation of the Queen . The King appeared on the parade , where he made a speech to the officers from the provinces who are now here , and was received with acclamations by tho troops . It is expected that orders will be conferred on a great number of persons , and that there will be a considerable promotion in the army . " So much for Royalty .

      Algiers . —A letter from Algiers , of the 26 th ult ., gives the following details of the recent fraud committed by means of forged Treasury Bills : — " On the 22 nd , a Spanish schooner , named La Viorge de Regla , Captain Jose Maria de Otero , came into port from Almeria , with a cargo of 2 , 000 quintals of lead , consigned to the storekeeper-general of the army . As no such officer exists , the ship was immediately put under surveillance , and a report got abroad that her freight was the produce of fraud , through tho means of forged bills . We have learnt , from good information , that the author of the fraud presented himself , several weeks ago , to the French consuls of Spain , assuming the name of , Hely do Beaumont , and pretending to be a brother of M . Gustave de

      Beaumont , the deputy , now at Algiers , with M . de Tocqueville and M . de Corcelles , on their reiuru from Mostaganem , having apparently given up their intention of accompanying the expedition against Mascara and Tekedempta . Hely de Beaumont gave himself out to our consular agent in Spain as an officer of the military administration in Algeria , and produced a pretended letter from the Governor-General , charging him to make large purchases of lead for the army . All the consuls of France at Valencia , Malaga , Gibraltar , and Cadiz , appear to have entertained no doubt of the authenticity of the letter , or the reality of his mission , for they gave him successively letters of recommendation . Cadiz and Gibraltar were the principal theatres of his

      frauds , and it is said he issued his fake bills at Gibraltar to the amouut of 200 , 000 f . At Cadiz , the vice-consul introduced him to several of the firit merchants , and through their mediation he obtained one-third of the leaa now on board the detained ship . In one transaction to the amount of 40 , 000 f ., he gave a bill for 5 O , 0 O 0 f ., receiving the difference in money . Not the least striking part of the affair is , that there is every reason to believe that the lead thus acquired was destined for Abd-el-Kader ; and thus the French consuls , unknown to themselves , it is true , have been made accomplices in a fraud , and an attempt to supply an enemy of- tbeir country with ammunition . It is confidently believed that the ship was on her way to Morocco , but was driven by stress of weather into Algiers . "

      The Forthcoming General Election . —We could almost find it in our hearts to regret that Lord John Russell has so signally defeated himself . We are not disposed to admire a ' tyrant majority " of any party in the House of Commons , but Lord John Russell has unconsciously done his beat to create one . A Government to be « f any use , ought to have a clear working majority ; but they may have too large a majority ; for an effective opposition is after all the spur to good , and the check upon bad , legislation ; and we cannot see the materials for one out of the forthcoming elections . We have counted no less than seventy-one eo-called liberal members of the present House of Commons , who have already declined serving their constituents again ; a "

      defection " from the public service , which says much for their personal predence , but promises very badly for the organisation of an opposition in the next Parliament . The Whigs , in fact , seem to have turned quite sulky with the public—something in the same spirit that Fox evinced when he left the House of Commons in despair , and took to translating Horace at St . Anne ' s-hilL When the last Russell leaves Bedfordshire , and Mr . Joseph Hume affects a desire to retire into private life , the game must be nearly np . As journalists , we almost feel melancholy when we reflect upon how many of our old choppingblocks we shall miss when , the new Parliament assembles . Three or four , we understand , are to be " pitchforked" in the event of losing their seats : Sir John Cam Hobhouse for one ; and it would be a very appropriate termination to his consistent

      career for him to walk into tbe House of Lordi in a white hat at last . We do not profess to know any thing of cabinet secrets , but the ondit amongst the elubi is , that the pitchfork business had great deal to do with the Whigs sticking to office , until they knew who would want providing for after the result of a general election . The provincial constituencies should bear thin in mind . At any rate there can be no harm in their asking such a man as Sir John whether he has not got a peerage in bis pocket if the country should refuse him a seat in the House of Commons ; and , if he cannot answer in the negative , perhaps he may be asked on the hustings , at Nottingham , whether he is of the same opinions now as he was some years ago , when he called the House of Lords " a refuge for the destitut * !"—Tory paper .

      Snow at Midsummer . —The mountains in Scotland hare , during the past week , been capped with snow . The once joyous and sultry 4 th of June was truly Siberian , but a beneficial change seems at hand . — -Newcastle Journal . A Tup of the Cheviot breed , the property of Messrs .

      Government . Masonic Festival . —The third and greatest of the charities whieh the masonic body support , that for founding an asylum for the aged and decayed members of their body , celebrated its sixth annual festival on Tuesday last , in their hall . Mr . Benjamin Wood , MVP . for Southwark , took the chair , and was supported by a considerable array of stewards and the friends and admirers of this crowning charity of tho anoiest order of freemasons . Since the establishment of this institution , the male and female schools have gone on increasing in the amount of their utility ; and although at its outset tho Aged Masons' Asylum met with some obstacles , arising more from ignorance than prejudice , still , having twice received the unanimous sanction of the grand lodge , it may now be considered as the best , as it is the youngest , offspring of masonio charity .

      Horrid Murder and Swicide in Derbyshire . —The village of Milltown , parish of Ashover , was on Thursday week the scene of a most horrid tragedy ; and it seldom falls' to our lot to publish details of a more revolting character . The perpetrator of the bloody deed wa 3 one Jokn Towndrow , once a farmer of considerable respectability , but of late years rather reduced in circumstances . It appears that his wife and he have for some time past lived unhappily , owing to ciroumstances and dispositions of mind into which it is not now our province to inquire , but there seems no reason to doubt that the main cause which led to the awful transaction originated in a dispute about some money , which had lately been left to Towndrow's wife . The throat of

      Mary Towndrow , the wife of the deceased John Towndrow , was cut from ear to ear , and her forehead severely fractured by a blow from a heavy instrument . The throat of the deceased , John , was also severely out , and both bodies were disfigured by blood . At the inquest , the first witne 3 s called was John Coates , who deposed that about one o'cleck at noon on Thursday , he was passing deceased ' house , ¦ when he saw their daughter look through the kitchen window ; shen then screamed , and begged him to force the door opea , which he did . On entering the kitchen , the body of John Towndrow was lying on its left side , his head hanging over tbo edge of a tub ; the deceased , Mary , was lying with her head against the wall ; both their throats wore cut

      and teey were quite cold and dead . A razor was lying on the ground near to tho spot where John lay , and a setting stick , broken in two pieces , lay near to the body of liis wife . In the house-place adjoining the kitchen the breakfast things were on the table , and the cups contained tea ; the two chairs in which the deceased appeared to have been sitting at breakfast were thrown over , and a a pair of spectacles , usually wornby the deceased ( Mary Towndrow ) lying on the hearth . To this witness appearances warranted the conjecture that a quarrel arose during breakfast , and that the ill-fated husband dragged his wife into the kitchen , and there committed the deed . A hammer stained with blood was found by Mr . George Bonnington . This witness stated that

      ho had known tho deceased husband about tn ; elve years ; that he had occasionally worked for him as a labourer ; and that during that time he never saw him act irrationally . He also stated that on the day previous to the murder deceased conversed with witness respecting his wife , stating that he did not know whether he was to have any harbour there any longer , as he supposed she was gone to fetch somebody to turn him out . There was nothing singular about him during this conversation , nor didfhe appear in the least excited . He was quite rational and calm . There was a great deal of blood upon the hands of the deceased . Mr . Geo . Bonnington was the second peisou in the house after the discovery was made . On the

      forehead of the deceased ' s wife was a large fracture , which induced witness to search for tne instrument by which it had been inflicted . Ob the shelf behind the staircase he found a hammer , the head of which was covered with blood , and which appeared to have been wiped . The razor sheath was on the house table . Witness knew the deceased kept his razors in the house cupboard , and the conclusion he had arrived at was , that deceased struck his wife with the hammer which he afterwards replaced on tho shelf , and then fetched his razor and completed the horrid deed by nearly severing his wife ' s head from tho body , and afterwards cutting his own throat . After a brief consultation , the Jury returned a vcrdiot of temporary insanity .

      A " Haunted Houss . —Extraordinary and Mysterious Circumstance . —For some few days past Windsor and its immediate neighbourhood have been in a state of considerable exoitement , in consequence of a house , which stands alone , surrounded by its ^ rounds , at Ciewer , about a mile from the tovvu , having been reported , from the extraordinary noiseB which have been heard there , to be " haunted . " The house is occupied by an elderly couple , their two daughters , and a female domestic . The noises which have been heard ( and which are continued at intervals throughout the day and night ) , resemble those whioh would be caused by a person rapidly , for two or three seconds , striking his knuckles violently against the panel of a door .

      The knocking is eo loud that it is heard by the inmates of houses four or five hundred yards eff . Such is the alarm these strange , aud , at present , unaccountable noises have caused throughout the neighbourhood , that a lad y who resides at some distance has given notice to her landlord that she quits instantly ; and the haunted family are represented to be in such a state of mind that they are making preparations to leave the house immediately . At one timo the door was taken off its hinges , and placed at the back of the closet , but the knocking was precisely the same as before . It should be observed , that at three or four times , when the knocking took place , there were five persons , and sometimes more , present from Windsor and elsewhere , who were determined , if possible , to detect the cause , and who were totally unconnected with the family residing in the house ; but they were still left in ignorance of its origin , and without the means of accounting for it .

      On Saturday last , a gentleman volunteered to sit up witli the occupant of the house , during the whole of that night . This offer , at the suggestion of the magistrates , was accepted . The rest of the family retired to rest at the usual hour , and up to six o ' clock the next morning , no noises were heard ; but in the course of Sunday they were more violent than ever . Many ignorant persons , of cpurse , ascribe the noises to Bome supernatural agency , and a tale is now current , that some person left that neighbourhood , Borne timo back , iu a " verymysterious manner , " and that " no doubt a murder was committed near the spot . " However this may be , gentlemen of high standing in the county ( magistrates , clergymen , and others ) , have visited the house during the past week ; and certainly , to say the least , they are ail exceedingly pu 2 zled at tbe extraordinary noises they have heard within three or four yards of the spot where they had stationed themselves .

      Dissolution of Parliament . —It is generally supposed that the large anvar of public business , necessarily oreated by the sudden dissolution of Parliament , will suggest the necessity for the assembling the new House of Commons as speedily as possible . The first Parliament was dissolved on the 18 th July , 1837 , and the writs were made returnable on the 15 th . of November following—thus allowing an interval of nearly four months for the elections , which , considering the mode of canvass , and the short time allowed for taking the poll under the Reform Act , was a much longer period than could , by possibility , be required . It is , however , conceived that , in the present instance , the utmost despatch , compatible with the convenience of the several candidates and constituencies ,

      will be employed , eo as to ensure the opening of the new Parliament at an early period . The choice of a Spaaker will , doubless , as in two recent instances , become the first great , party question of the session . Mr . Manners Button ( Viscount Canterbury ) held the chair for eighteen years , and presided over seven new Houses of Commons ; Mr . Abercrombie ( Lord Dnnfermline ) for four years ; and Mr . C . Shaw Lefevre for two years . The last election for Speaker was on the 29 th of May , 1839 . The aext will be the fourteenth Parliament of the Uniutd Kingdom . It appears by a return prepared from the rolls and journals of both housee . that siaoe 1809 , when

      it is supposed the duration of Parliaments was extended beyond one year , only four Parliaments have existed beyond seven years , and only nine have had * sexennial duration . Of the rest , only nine Parliaments have lasted above five yean , three above four years , and three above thtee years . Only ten existed above two years , and no less than thirty-six for a shorter period . The average duration , from 1 M 9 to the present time ( including the long Parliament in the reign of Charles I ., and that in the reign of Charles II ., whioh lasted nearly seventeen years , ) does not exceed the space of three years each ; so that , although nominally septennial , Parliament may be said to have not more than a really triennial existence .

      THE WELSH "PLOTTERS" AGAIN . ' A paragraph from the Hereford Times is % present " going the round" of the " Establishment , " and which we here insert for the purpose of calling forth a true version of the case upon Chartist authority ; for we don't believe the facts as set forth in the Whig print . If there is any foundation for the report at all , the odds are s hundred to one , that" Sir" Tom Phillips and his bloody coadjutors have been at work again in search of a title for another miscreant . Here is the Whig statement : —

      • ' Information from Pontypool has b « en received at this office , from unquestionable authority , that a package baa arrived at Nan-port ,- per packet from Bristol , to be forwarded to Mr . Gr . Moora , at Mb . Goodwin's , shoemaker , Poutypool . The package was said to be of a very suspicious nature , and Superintendent Roberts accordingly attended at the Swan Inn , and placed two officers to watch the movements of any party who might call for it No individual making his appearance for that purpose , it was finally taken to the station-house . Upon examination it was found to contain two muskets , two bayonets , ono fowlingpiece , two pistols , five , bullet moulds , of various sizes ,

      a force pump for an air gun , a great quantity of inflimiBatory Chartist publications , one of Colonel Macerone " s books , called " Instructions to the People how to make combustible Materials , " a quantity of Cobbett'a Works , Ac , with several parcels . of worsted and cotton stockiRgs , linen drapery , and worsted yarn , so well packed round ihe fire-arms that no one would suspect tbe package of containing such goods . Oa the following day ( Tuesday ) , a person called at the coachofike for the package / upon which he was taken into custody ; he proved to be George Black , a Chartist agitator and orator from Nottingham , who has been very industrious in South . Wales tbia last twelve months

      particulariy at Merthyr ; he assumed to travel wiva Btockings for sale . On Wednesday last , the prisoner waa taken before C . H . Xeigh , W . H . Little , and E . R . Phillips , Eaqs ., at the poJice of&ce ; when , after » lengthened investigation , he was committed for one month to hard labour in the House of Correction at Ufk . He attended a Chartist meeting -at Newport on Monday last , and made a most violent speech . He stated that he is sometimes called Moore , but nion generally Black . He was committed under the Vagrant Act for trading and hawking without a license . Goodwin , to whose house the package was directed , is a Chartist leader at Pontypool . "—Hereford Times .

      A word or two upon this , as it appears . " Information from Pontypool was received from unquestionable authority , that a packet had arrived ai Newport . " Ah ! How did the " unquestionable authority at Pontppooi'know the packet was either coming , or had arrived , at Newport ? How came the Pontypool authorities to know that ? An answer Mr . Hereford Times , if you please 1 " The package was said to be of a very suspicious nature . " " Several parcels of worsted and cotton stockings , linen drapery , and worsted yarn , were so

      well packed round the fire arms , that ko onb would suspect the . package of containing such goods . " See how the story confounds and contradicts itself ! It was " said te be of a very suspicious nature "—and yet Us . nature was such ** that no one would suspect it !" ' What bunglers ! How very like a plot I a trap !! If Black had any thing to do with the " very suspicious" package , we say , judging from the statement given above , he has been entrapped by the " unquestionable authobitt' * of Pontypool ! J ' .

      Black has been committed to the House of Correction for one month , under the Vagrant Act , for trading and hawking without a license . " This id the most inexplicable part of the whole affair ! " Trading and hawking without a license : " when is the proof of that i Is going to a coach office to see after a package of goods " trading and hawking V We cannot understand Welsh Authority Will our friends see that we have a fall statement of all the facts of this most " suspicious" case , as far as they can make them out ! Let us know all tub actors in this : strange business ; and let them

      detail the evidence pn which Black has been com * mitted to the tread-mill for a month , on a charge of " trading and hawking without a lioense . " This case must be ferretted out ! The " authority " succeeded onca ! He must not do it again !! No more plots ! Let our friends be on their guard 1 ! The Whigs , reduced to tha last extremity , will try every means to keep themselves afloat—and a good " plot , " which would appeal to the fears of the men of property , would be a perfect "God-send . " The above story gives evidence that tbe plottehs " are again at work . Let every Chartist look out . Defeat the hellish movo ! No more PLOTS ! !

      THB "DUNDEE CHRONICLE . " With most sincere regret we extract from the columns of our esteemed contemporary the following article , for the purpose of laying it before the Chartists of Scotland , and of demanding for ii their instant and effective attention , that the cause of Chartism may not lose a valuable advocate : — " Our readers will observe that an important meeting of the shareholders of this journal was held on Wednesday last . The financial affairs of the Company are certainly in no enviable poaitioa ; and , as poverty i * not considered a crime by those whose cause we have espoused , we have , without hesitation , laid the whole matter shortly before the public . The circumstances attending tbe purchase of the paper cannot be already

      forgot , but must be fri-sh in tbe recollection of the whole country , —as the purchase of such extensive property was at the time the wonder and admiration of those whose principles were reciprocal -with our own . That the shareholders are . generally composed of those who live by the labour of their hands , we do not affect to deny but , instead of this being a disgrace , we deem it no inconsiderable recommendation , because we can boast of that which few journalists can boast of , viz ., the honest aud straightforward advocacy of the unpre . scriptable rights of man . But , while we deem this aa honour to ourselves , we cannot shut our eyes to the fact , that the existence of this poverty has precluded those very individuals from not only paying up the shares already subscribed for , but has prevented them from

      subscribing for the necessary number of shares , so aa to enable the Directors to carry on the business with that requisite economy aad spirit , necessary for the conducting of suvb a journal as the Dundee Chronicle . It will be seen from the report , that the working men who have subscribed lor shares are extremely inconsiderable , when we tafce into account the vast mass of men who have exposed the cause we advocate , and when we calculate upon the enthusiasm existing amongst that mass .. No doubt , We are somewhat to b ! ame ourselves foraremissness in not laying our peculiar circumstances before the public . There Is a certain delicacy attending the admission of actual distress , that , the public is a « weH aware of aa

      ourselve *; but the point ean be overstretched ; and we think , despite the xevilings of out foes , that we are only doing our duty by throwing aside that false delicacy , which , under out circumstances , would be gross folly any longer to affect . That we are embarrased , flD&nciaUy speaking , we at once frankly admit ; and we make this admission with unfeigned sorrow and regret Nothing , we are satisfied , could afford matter of congratulation to out enemies equal to the extinction of the people ' s paper , for the simple reason that they hate democracy , and want sot the amelioration of the miserable condition of the millions . To restore to the people their natural and inherent rights , and to lessen their burdens , has been the aim and object of the pro * moters of this journal .

      " We have to return our sincere thanks to oar readers generally throughout the country for tbe liberal support which they have given the paper since its com * mencement , as our circulation is greater than we could by possibility have anticipated ; and we trmst that the appeal now made for additional shareholders will not be in vain . Let the few Chartist papers now in existence cease to live , and the boldest and most destructive blow will be given to the cause of liberty , which by any means -whatever could be struck . Sfa&U the enemies of the people have to congratulate themselves on the extinction of the greatest palladium which liberty can possess , viz ., a free and unfettered press J We think wo mre not wrong when we emphatically say—No ! a thousand times , No J . ¦¦ ¦

      " Men of Fodtajhire and Fifeahire ! we have done our duty , and we now appeal to you for aid . Few , indeed , in the county districts , have become shareholders of the paper ; but it ia not too lato , and we hope that you will yet man / ally do your dntf . " The manager will shortly write the respective afents directly on thU » ort important lubjeet ' . " ByordertfthefHretten . " We are quite rare that , after reeding ttii * , th « people know their dnty , and will perfom it , witk » out further prompting . We arast , however , re-echt most emphatically the following sentence . "Let the few Chartist . papers now in existenoe eeile U

      live , and the boldest and most destrotiTo bum will be given to the cause of liberty , whieh by saj means whatever oonld be struck . Shall the-enemies of the people have to congratulate themselves on the extinction , of the greatest palladium which liberty can pojsess , via ., * free and unfettered Rresa 1 We think we are not wrong when we emphatically say-No 1 a thousand times , No I "
