The husband , -who iras aeloefiriaker , ' senthis apprentice -with a message io a . distant part of the town in order to hare time to carry his project into execution . "When the apprentice returned , he found the door dosed , and after having in vain inocked for some time lie determined to anply to a locksmith . "When the door "was opened the unfortunate conple were found dead on their bed , locked in each otBers'satms . A large chafing dish , containine the remains of a

      < raan £ ity of charcoal , -vras found in the centre of the chamber . The cause of this double suicide has not been ascertained . Their furniture showed that they "were both affluent and orderly . The same journal states that a considerable multitude assembled on Saturday last at the Court of Assize of Melun . The serious nature of the charge to be investigated , the talent of the public prosecutor , and the number of objects which were to be produced in evidenc-eamongst the rest a larjre earthen dish , in which was preserved the head oi ' tbe vietim—stimulated the cur iosity of the inhabitants of Melun .

On the 19 th of July last thv lifeless body of the vridi-. w Neven was found in a weD , aruu-hed to tht- hou : ? e of iLti Mergers . At ttrst it was considered that her death was the effect of accident , but on a closer exam i nation it was discovered that she had been shot throusrh the head . Suspicions then fell upon the son of Merger , who had remained at home alone with the widow on the day of her death , and who was known to have purchased pocket pistols , "whirfr fact he denied . A long ehain of eirctnnstantial evidence having been established , Mercer the younger was found guilty of the nmrder of the widow Neven , and sentenced to hard labour for life . He was removed from court "littering the most solemn protestations of

      innocence . Distbess is Paris . —Ii would seem that every year at the approach of winter the Parisian operatives suffer severely , and this year the rigorous season is announced by fatts which ought to awaken the solicitude of the Administration . The withdrawa ] of so large a proportion of the deposits lodged in the savings ' -banks ; the state of the hospitals , which are enerrmhered with sick ; the extraordinary number of children , -women , and even operatives , " seeking for employment , who are found begging in the streete of Paris ; all these facts demonstrate the existence of great distress ,

      SPAIN . * PKOGRESS OF THE DfSURKECTlOK . The advices from Spain fallv confirm the intelligence which we were enabled to give last week of the rising t ) f Zurbano in Old Castile . Subsequent accounts , though they are by no means full , enable us io state that the insurrection is rapidly extending . The news produced a great sensation " in Madrid , though the Government had endeavoured , by declarations in the Chamber , to diminish its * importance . "Narraez stated , in reply to questions addressed to Mm , that Zurbano was merely at the . head of a few brigands , and that he expected a few hours would terminate the rebel ' s career .

      town . The inhabitants openly sympathised with the rerolteis , and on the 16 th the public excitement rose to sucl an extent that General Breton declared ihe place to be in a state of siege , and distributed his troops in commanding positions . On the same dav the political chief issued a bando , directing everv citizen to deliver op , "within twenty-four hours , all the arms , offensive or defensive , in Ms possession , under pain of severe penalties . Several domiciliary visits were made in the course of the 17 th . On the evening of that day ( the time of the departure of my ad-Fiees ) Saragossa * was in a very agitated state , and there is little " doubt that if ZuTbano can maintain himself a few days longer the capital of Aragon will WOnormoe for the eonstitntion of 1837 .

      General Breton has applied to Ms Government for reinforcements . On the 18 th the two villages of Castillo de Echo and Castillo de Ans , between the valley of Roncal , Upper Aragon , and the Pyrenees , compelled their aytmiamientos to resign , and pronounced for the constitution of 1 S 3 " .

      Lower Arragon , and r ive tihe lie completely to the glories circulated bv i £ e Spanish Consul at Bayonne , of his having taken refuge in Navarre , On the 18 th General Zurbano and his troops entered the town of Soria , where he -was well received by the inhabitants . He , however , found that previous to Ms arrival the political chief of the place had issued a fcando , ordering that Zurbano should be shot , if taken prisoner , upon his simple identity being proved . Zurbano , upon this , ordered the political chief himself to be shot , as an example to all persons in authority not to nublish such atrocious and sancninarv mandates .

      These orders were at once carried into execution . A battalion of the regiment of Saragossahs&pronouneid , and gone over to Zurbano , and it is expected that the example will be followed by more of the troops . Information has also been received that a rising has taken place in the province of Guipuseoa in favour of the constitutional cause . Two towns , Ascotia and Aspetia , have pronounced , and General Iturbide has placed himself at the head of the movement . It is reported that a further rising has taken E lace in the province of Galicia , which is known to e in a state of disaffection .

      Maprip , Nov . 19 . —General Araoz , adistingnishec officer , has been arrested and thrown into prison , for no other apparent reason than that he was some years aco the commanding officer of General Prim ; General liamir-ez . tlii > ueh with the weiirht of eijrhty years ill » on lu > - shoulders , is orJeivd off t « the Canary Island . ^ , and . en hi .- > iv ) r . «» nstnitin « , is arrested , thrust inio a coach , and t-arrifd to the i _ *;» tl >* of St . atalina . : i" < : > iiiz , till an opportunity uifrrs » of sending him In-yui'd thf ? t-: is .

      Prim . —The srreatest attention was still excited by the condemnation of General Prim to an imprisonment of sis years in a fortress out of tht > Peninsula . The result of an appeal to the Supreme Council of War and . Marine was anxiously awaited . State ot the Ixsttrkkctios . —The silence of the French telegraph in regard to Zurbano ' s movements —the false intelligence propagated by the Paris Ministerial journals , and notably by the Debau , Globe , and Presse—the fact of seven provinces in Spain being declared in a state of siege ^—the bando * of divers Captains-General , decreeing the penalty of death to be

      enioreed at their will and pleasure—the cruel and oppressive conduct of the French authorities at the frontiers towards all liberal Spaniards—all these matters , we . say , indicate pretty clearly that the insurrection is progressinc , and that the cause of liberty is gaining strength . The more ? 5 arvae 2 boasts of being able to put down the revolt , the more are we- ' satisfied that the reign of bis power is at an end . We cannot forget the significant language of Mendizabel vrhen addressing recently one of the attaches of the Spanish Legation in Paris— " In three months' time you will receive i / our orders from me . "

      The SentincUe des Pyrenees , in announcing the movement of the two towns , Castillo de Echo , and Castillo de Anso , adds that the insurgents had disarmed 200 troops of the line , in addition to the carbineers and Custom-house officers . The same journal also declares that the valley of Tena lias also made its movement . The Bayonne correspondent of the .

Nu one can tcD at ivha * point this terrible and indefatigable leader may appear on the morrow . A letter from St . Sebastian ha ? been communicated to me . tvhich states that General Iturbe , who inhabited Guipuseoa , has declared himself , and drawn with him the towns of Aspeilia and Ascoitia . ilovt-ments are also said to have been made in Galicia and Andalusia ; and , according to reports from travellers arrived from Spain , the fideliiv of the Queen ' s troops is totteriug in all parts . An official account has arrived here , announcing that the whole of Upper Arragon has

      pronounced itself , and that the carabineers and other parts of the troops have made common cause with the insurrection . In fine , 1 am enabled to assure you that the report published here in the ministerial journal , that the movement is made in the name of Espartero , is completely false . Zurbano , and those who second him , raise no other cries than •¦ The Constitution of 1837 ' . " " Down with the tyrants ! - ' The flajrs of the liberating array bear these words , ' Isabella II . and the Constitution . '" Some soldiers , on joining Zurbano , have cried , " Long live Espartero ! " but this was a souvenir , and not a political act . It is false that Espartero has been proclaimed . The insurrection is made in the name of the Constitution , and in hatred of the violent counter-revolution , and has a . character of nationality in which men act from principle .

      Madrid , rvov . 20 . —The correspondent of the Times says , " * J have it from a good source that Zurbauo , undisturlied and undismayed , continued to proceed right ou in the direction he had originally , as it now appears , and as 1 believe J already " anticipated , he intended , towards Saragossa : and that he had arrived in the neighbourhood of Tudela , close to the Arrajronese frontier , at the bead of 500 infantry and 2 l > 0 horse . He had sent a messenger to . Saragossa , to inform his friends there of his intention to move nn that place , The messenger was , however , taken

      and --hot by order of the Captain-General . A person who arrived fatre last night , on foot , brought the above account to those much interested in the movc-TDcnt- One iact is < -ertain , that two expn ^ v **** arrived h , TP last eveninsr , one within an hour or two aiW the other , whb despatches from some of the military authorities in that part of the country to the Ministers of War and for the Interior ; anil that the Government has not published them up to the present hour—aHd it Is now half-past eight o ' clock p . m . This of itself looks as if news were not of an encouraging

      kind . It is added that Narvaez , after perusing the despatches , sent for the couriers who brought them ; and using tbe yerv significative sign of placing his Snger on his lips , and drawing his hand across his throat , intimated to them the danger they would incur by blabbing . The fact , however , that despatches have been received , and that the Gazette , Eeraldo , and other official and semi-official organs are silent , is in itself most suspicious .

      GERMANY , DisTfRBANCES . —Berlin papers of the 20 th ., state that troops were despatched from Schneidnitz on the preceding night to the weaving districts of Silesia , and that it was believed that disturbances had ajjain occurred there . The inmates of the prison Brieg , in Silesia , made a desperate attempt to escape on the 19 th . At the request of the governor a battalion of infantry was sent by railway to the above-named town from Breslau .

      SWEDEN . RzFonMs . —The King of Sweden has approved of all the modifications bx the states in the fundamental law . The principal modifications are : —Convocation of the diet every three years . The right of the king to give or to refuse his sanction to projects of law adopted by the > tatt-s during the sittinjr of the dipt .

      riHPASSlA AND GEORGIA . « Ii . i-k : "i : " s Tiuitjphs of the MorM . u . vEERS . —TllP ttyhi < i ri'iinrU which during tbe la > t l « - % v month * have > mxt »> jvi ' ly reached Constantinople from Dnchestan authorise a belief that tbe disasters of the Russians rum the triumphs uf Shamil Bin- have , this campaign , Ix-en to an extent hitherto unknown . An individual from that country , just arrived from Dajrhestan , says , that during the last spring and summer no less than seven or eight severe battles had been fought , in which the Russians lost , besides an immense number of men , no less than forty-five places or positions . So reduced were they , that the bonds of discipline were loosened ; and at a place called Bassil Bay , two

      generals , with all their troops , came over to Schamil I On this , the Russian sreneral-in-chief called a council of war , which was held at the baths of Sidjak Sou < this was probably early in September ) . It was there proposed , that the whole army should make a grand attack upon the mountaineers ; * but many of the officers asserted that their men could not be trusted , and it was finally determined that overtures should be made to Schamil Bey for an armistice . Sehamil , who was rather short of provisions , consented to this , on condition that , during the interruption of hostilities , the Russians snoHld furnish his camp with food ; and on these terms an armistice was concluded up to the dav of Kassim ( 7 th November ) , when the Daghestees

      intend to renew the war with augmented vigour . A letter from that part of the world states , that the losses of the Russians , between killed , wounded , and missing , amount to 60 , 000 men ; whilst those of the mountaineers amount to 12 , 000 . _ This may possibly be true ; but had the numbers been more moderate , one would hare been more likely to give credit to the assertion . Certain it is , that the forces of Russia have been concentred in the neighbourhood of Daghestan . In fact the lines of the Koubar are now so badly guarded , that the Circassians of Abazek and Cnbarda are constantly crossing the border , attacking Russian villages , and bearing off rich spoils in slaves , horses , cattle , sheep , and tjthcr property ,

      —A Dai of Excitement in New Yoek . — Yesterday was one of the most extraordinary days ever seen in New York . All the principal streets exhibited a i > opular excitement , which had a character of anxiety more than anything else , to a degree altogether unexampled . ] In the morning the Whig papers came out very boldly , and claimed the State of New York for Mr . Clay , thereby givinff-him the Presidency . . Side by side with these journals the ultra-democratic journals also came out , and claimed the State in the same way , by their invincible figuring for Mr . Folk . The respective renderB of those journals sallied out in the morning—and a beautiful morning it was —the sunshine bright and warm , and the air balmy and inspiriting—and as they encountered tach other , there could be at onri * set n a difference of opinion—a discussion —a debate—a (¦ oi np . irison of » otes—and all that variety of gesture and commotion which indicated unsettled

      minds in both pariit-. * after going through the discussiou . What gave edge and interest to thr speculations and discusskms nt ' manv < m the Kll-. il < s < ji'biug topic of the tiny , was the fact , that immense .-urns of money wt re pending i « n the result in tin' Stati- of New York , and also on the general question . At a \ rr \ low estimate it may lie re < -l > ont : d that «* -veral million * an- pending in lliifi city on the result-of local vK-ctions , and also of tfie general election ; and if we include in this estimate thv probable amounts pending in the \ arious cities and towns throughout the country , we should not be at all surprised if eight or ten millions were to change hands in a few days on the general result being ascertained . This is , perhaps , one of the weightiest reasons which can be assigned for the in tense anxiety which characterizes the present excitement —an excitement visible in the countenances of all : an excitement differing altogether from that which precedes anelection , when all is hope and buoyancy .

      In the streets the scenes were often indescribably amusing . Throughout the whole morning , at every corner , groups were collected , listening to two or three oracles debating the probabilities of Clay or Polk carrying the State of New York . At one corner you would see a venerable gentleman with grey hairs , but a bright eye , leaning on his crutch , weighing the probabilities of the case , as if he were a judge of the Supreme Court , and deciding with the most consummate dignity in the world that it was highly probable that Mr . Clay would get the State , and again that it was very probable that -Mr . Polk would get it ! In another corner some attache of a . newspaper— -some half-and-half editor would be arrested on his way and asked what his opinion was , and what was the character of the returns which he had in his pocket that morning .

      Throughout the day both parties continued to claim the State most manfully ; but both admitted that the vote was extremely close , and that the probability was , that a few hundreds would determine it either way . In some quarters the Whigs were blazing away , in paroxysms af rage against the " natives , " for cheating them out of a large majority in Xew York , sifter they had manfully and decently abandoned their own ticket and gone for the " natives . " It appears that the Whigs had calculated on at least from six to nine thousand majority in this city , in cxinsequenft of th < - coalition witli the " natives , " and they

      are iiow extremely furious in their abuse of their respectable a !! i < s , -. vlioni they accuse of being cheats , re- , creants , and rogues , for not \<>; ing—as they had given tht ; WJtijrs rtia ^ ou Xa --ujjjH ^ sf— fu r Mr . Clay . On the other hand , others of the sami' parly wwf equally loud and indisrnant in their tlenuncintion * •>{ tin aboiitioiusti— - the fanatics "— " the t-jrregiousblnckhKids , " who wei-p sticking by their own ma : i instead of toting for Mr . flay .

      Throughout the afternoon it was generally agreed that the vote of the State of >' ew York-for Mr . Clay would depend on the abolition vote in the western counties ; but whoever got the State , it was agreed that it would be ! by only a thousand or two—thereby realizing the prediction we made a long time before the election , thjjt whoever got the vote of New York would get the PresidiMicy . Up to a late hour in the afternoon the same doubt—the same discussion—the same anxiety—the same care-worn aspect —and the same immense number of groups were visible , particularly in Wall-street , in the business districts , in some parts of Broadway , at the hotels , and in uiany

      quarters throughout the whole city . About half-past five o ' clock in the afternoon the groups moved to the newspaper offices , filling every nook and cranny , and crowding up the streets and side-walks . The Herald office was the scene of great throngs , waiting for the arrival of the steamer from Albany with the decisive intelligence . About half-past six our messengers arrived at the office with the intelligence . It was announced to the crowd that New Tork had gone for Polk and Dallas , and then such a shout rose up to heaven as we never before heard—come cursing , some swearing—some hurrahing , as wild as the very fiends themselves .

      Altogether this has been a much more interesting and exciting election than even that which resulted in the triumph of General Harrison . and the decision of the State of New York and" the Pr -. ' rk-aey will relieve multitudes of a great deal of anxiety , a great deal of uneasiness , and a great deal more money than they can well « pare .

"We extract the following from the Democratic Camqaign of the 2 nd November : — iMPOKTAJfT Detection , . — We stop the press to announce the astounding discovery which has just been made of a plot of the Whigs to carry the State by a system of double ballots . We have a package of them before us , printed on thin paper , procured from their central source of supply , with peculiar marks , and ingeniously folded with a little fl yleaf to catch together , so as to appear but a single ballot , and to part when thrown down into the ballot box .

      They would deceive : all but the most vigilant scrutiny . jThe law is , that when an excess of ballots is found in the box above the number of names on the poll-list , an equivalent number shall be drawn out by lot—a process by which , in such a case , the Democratic party alone must suffer . These hate been sent uniformly all over the State ; and in counties where the tickets had been already printed , the latter are destroyed , and tli « fraudulent doublu ballots substituted .

      1 reached this town-yesterdny , in the stage coach from Niislnillo , forty milt ; K , on a good turnpike road . This is ont > of the finest counties of land in the State , and inhabited by an intelligent and wealthy class of people . As you are aware , Gov . l'olk , the Democratic candidate for President , resides in this place . I had the honour of takinp tea at his house last evening , and of enjoying the society of hinihelf and his amiable and splendid lady . His features are strongly marked by evidences of intellect , blandness , firmness , and benevolence . His head would be esteemed a splendid model by phrenologists , in which the intellectual and moral faculties are largely predominant . His forehead is high , broad , and fu l , and perpendicular , if not projecting . The upper part of the head rises high above the ears . The organs of benevolence , veneration , and firmness are prominently developed . Col . Folk ' s character , through a long public life , is known to correspond with these characteristic ' s of his mind .

      He represented the Congressional district in which he llVOR , for fourteen years . While he has at all times hftU strong political opponents in Tennessee , h <> is without a personal enemy in the State . All , with one accord , declare , that they know of iio spot or blemish on Colonel Folk ' s whole private life ; that a better neighbour , a kinder master , a more indulgent and faithful husband , or a more upright , honest , benevolent and moral man , they never knew . When the Roorback slander reached Tennessee , evi-d the Whigs cried out , " Shame , —oh I for shame . " Of all the slanders ever started a ^ uinst him , this was the most unlike tin- truth . All his otiji . jnents in

      Tennessee admit that there is not a kinder man to his servant * to be found in the State . Col . 1 ' nlk is not rich . He 1 ms a moderate property , and owing nothing , is indepen - dent . He dout not o \ yn forty slaves hi the world . What he li .

      His lady is both beautiful and accomplished , and is a consistent member of the Pre » b \ U .-riiin chureh . There inot a human being living that is an eni my (• fliers . It is painful to find that a man UU > Colonel Folk , whiM whole life has been pure and without reproach , should be so shamefully assailed as lie bus been . During his whole life he has been strictly a temperance man in everything ; in liquor , tobacco , in eating , andjn all respects . He never gambled . In all his life he never gave or accepted a challenge to light a duel . He is an anti-duellist on Christian principles . He believes duelling to be morally wrong , and has the moral courage to put in practice the moral principles he professes . He if , a much greater man , and a much better man , than the world , and especially his opponents , have ever given him credit for . He is a modest and retiring man , but bold and firm in the discharge of his official duties , when called upon by the people to exercise them . I should say the most prominent trait of his mind was that of moral courage—a rare and valuable trait of character .

      He made a good and faithful representative , an able and efficient Governor , a prompt , able , and impartial Sj > eaker of the House of Representatives ; and , if elected , will make avi able , judicious , sound and safe President of the United States ; one that will aim to maintain the rights and honour of the country in our foreign relations , and secure , as far as practicable , the peace and prosperity of our people at home . : I have not had time as yet to call on Oen . Jackson , but am happy to learn that the old patriot enjoys better health of late , exhibiting tokens of a calm and contented green old age . The political excitement in the West , and aspireiully in Tennessee , is , tremendous . The whole country is studded with hickory and ash poles .

Neville , an Irishman , living on the island , and at whose house Burgess Mtopped , received yuo dollars reward on the spot . We subjoin the following particulars : —

      Burgess , who was apprehended noon after Eider strangled hhnsell' in . the gaol of Boston , in a most miserable condition , in a small island 15 miles from Boston , is now on his return , in the custody of John Forester , the officer , to England . It appears that when Burgess escaped from the hotel at Nahant , a small peninsula joined to the main land by a neck of land about four miles in length , he rowed in the dark for a considerable time , and at length , after having been tossed about , he landed , and made the best of his way to a small cottage in which a poor Irishman and his wife and three children resided . From thence he sent to the waiter of the hotel at Nahant his keys , with directions to take possession of the money contained in his bags , and convey it to him . John Forester , who managed the whole business , with the read y assistance of the officers granted by the authorities , with consummate skill , took care to cut off the means of escape by land ,

      and , met the bearer of the money oh his way to a place of appointment . The bag , which contained . £ 120 in gold , and in dollars and notes £ 4 t 3 H , was directly sent back to the hotel , -while the pursuit was continued . In the most wretched condition , with no more titan a half-crown or a couple of shillings in his pocket , and half naked , the unhappy Burgess , after great exertion , reached another cottage , at the distance of about eight niiles across the water , and there remained under shelter for nearly a ni g ht and clay . He then seut the owner of the cottage with a note to a Mr . ( inuit , who had had some tmnsactiojis with him in a pecuniary way , requesting money . Mr . ( iiant , who had been duly . inloimed of the forgery and robbery of the Bank of England , immediately gave the information where it could be made moat available , and the person who knew tht place of concealment of the fugitive was prevailed upon—but not without a great deal of persuasion , and a reward uf 300 dollars—to give him up to the police .

      It was evident from the whole of the proceedings of Burgess and Elder , after their arrival in America , that they looked with the utmost confidence to permanent security from ajrest . Burgess had been lodging about a fortnight at the hotel at Nahant , and had purchased a piece of ground of Mr . Drew , the landlord , on which ne was about to build a house , and it was odd enough that before the foundation was laid he purchased carpeting , bed-linen , glasses , and other articles of furniture . An inquest was held upon the body of Elder before Mr . Pratt at Boston , and it was stated before the jury that the deceased was found dead in the gaol by strangling himself with his silk handkerchief , the same nandkerchief beinjj fastened to the grate of the window of the room of the prison . Tub Mormons . —More troubles amongst the Mormons were anticipated , and it is said that 200 of the

      sect were encamped within a few miles of Carthage , but for what purpose is as yet a matter of conjecture . Much excitement prevailed at Carthage in consequence . It is said that this movement was made by order of Governor Ford , but this is very improbable . Sidney Rigdon has established his branch of the church at Pittsburgh , and publishes a paper there . One of Sidney Rigdon ' s-. men had addressed a meeting of the sect in New York , and , after a long , rambling , and rather incoherent narration , descriptive of the early part of Joe Smith's career at Nauvoo , the elder went on to speak of a " vision " which Joe had ten days before his death . lie and Hiram went out , he said , to the prairie to call on the name of the Lord , and then Joe beheld in vision the tragical scene in which he was soon to take a pai-t at Carthage gaol . From that moment Joe was an altered man—ne lost all spirit , and , as the elder said , " his

      Untitled Article

      countenance fell" from that moment . The elder , went on to argue that Joe ' s death was ordained of the Lord , on account of his transgressions—that he did not apostatize , but he " wrought abominations , " and was thereforeideemed unfit to direct " the kingdom , " and share in its triumphs . The transgression was in introducing the " spiritual wife system . " . On this subject it was expected that the " elder" would ha ? e gone into the details , and exposed it fttHy ; But he contented himself with a general denunciation of it ^ - said that it was universally prevalent at Naurooand that it was to free " the Church " from that evil

      that Sidney J Rigdon had taken a separate atand . Elder Winchester called on all the faithful to _ come out and separate themselves at once from their corrupt brethren ! at Nauvoo , which was , he said , doomed to destruction , and was fast falling into decay on account of its iniquities . The " Twelve Apostles , " as they call themselves , were very busy at Nauvoo in the very delectable business of defaming and slandering one another . It is estimated that the recent Mormon war will cost the state of Illinois 20 , 000 dols ., and that the aggregate expense incurred during the year on account of the Mormons would not fall short of r > 0 , 000 dollars .

Hogg stated that , ie pr © -,, pared forty-fire acres of worn-out stubble for a Eai-, ! crop , and though without manure , the crop was good * , One acre wbicn he had scutched . produced a cleat profit of £ 25 , and he estimated the nett profit of « a , acre of good flax at £ 80 .

Through the agency of the Agricut .., tural Societies and Poor Law unions , with the Royal .
