      FRANCE . ; StnoiDi j ccd Mcrdxb . —The Gazntt dts Tribunawc stain that on Wednesday last a deplorable event fcaaied ft considerable excitement amongst the inhabitants of the house No . 2 , in the Rue dea FiBesdu-C ^ Sraire , Two young / persons , lately married , vereibond dead from suffocation in their bed-chamber ^ The , husband , -who "was a dockmaker , sent his apprenfice ^ thi message to a distant part of the town in order , to hare time to carry his project into execution . "Wfc ^ B the apprentice returned ,, he found the door closed , and after haying in rain knocked for some iime \ he determined io apply to a locksmith . When € h £ r door was opened the unfortunate couple Tvere found dead on their bed , locked in each others ' s arms .

      A largedianng dish , containins the remains of a cuajrttfy of charcoal , was found in the centre of tht chamber . The cause of this donble suicide has no 1 teen ascertained . Their furniture showed that thej were both affluent and orderly . The same journa states that a considerable multitude assembled 01 Saturday la . < t at the Court of Assize of Melun . Th < serious nature of the charge to be investigated . th < talent of the public prosecutor , and the number o iiliiv .-: * which were to be produced in evidenceamongst the rest a large earthen dish , in whiel * -as preserved the head of the victim—Stimulated till nrjoshy of the inhabitants of Melon . The facts , a ; Elated by the Attorney-General , were as follows : — An a ? ed woman , named Neven . a widow , withou children , haTimr conceived a warm affection for ; family named Merger , sold her ¦ property and dividet h amongst them , reserving for her own use an an unity o ? 50 » £ and a capital of SOOf . About elsrh

      months after the widow Neven went io reside wit theiamlly .-of the Mergers , enriching thv family witl her money ; and by her attention to their affairs , sh < perished , the victim of a horrible murder . On thi 19 th of July la . « t the lifeless l *> dv of the widow Nevei was found in . a wvll , r-ttacheci to the house of thi Mergers . At first h was considered that her deal ] ¦ wa .- ; die effect of accident , but on a closer exain ' -na tinn it Tvas discovered that she had been shot throne the head . Suspicions then fell upon the son of Mer ger , who had remained at home alone with tin widow on the day of her death , and who was know to have purchased x « x-ket pistols , " which fact he de nied . A long chain of circumstantial evidenct having been established . Mersrer -the younger wa found gnilty of the murder of the widow Neven , am sentenced to hard labour for life . He was reniore < from court ntterins the most solemn protestations o innocence .

      Distress is Pakis . —It would seem that every vea at the approach of winter the Parisian operative suffer severely , and this year the rigorous season i announced by facts which ought to awaken the soli citnde of the Administration . The withdrawal of s < large a proportion of the dejwtts lodged in th ' saTiDS 5 ' -banks ; tbc state of the hospitals , which ari encumbered with sick : the extraordinary number o children , women , and even operatives , " seeking fo employment , who are found begging in the streets o Paris : all these facts demonstrate the existence n great distress .

      SPAIN . PfiOGfiJE-SS OF THJS ISSmHECTIOS . The advices from Spain fully confirm the in tell i . ge . no *? which we were enabled to jive last week of thi rising of Zurbano in Old Castile . Sulisequent ar counts , though they are by no means full , enable u to state that the insurrection is rapidly estendins The news produced a great sensation in Madrid though the Government had endeavoured , bv dcvla rations in the-Chamber , to diminish its importance Narvaez stated , in reply to questions addressed t him , that Zurbano was merely at the head of a fev brigands , and that he expected a few hours woul < terminate the rebel ' s career . The foDowing article , from the Jounuxl ties Ik-hu of Saturday , contains all that was known at Paris , o on the frontier , of the nroceexiinirs of Zurbano

SiiuGossA . —The intelligeaee of Zurbano ' s revolt reached Saragossa oa the night of the Mth , and prodnced an extraordinary sensation in that liberal town . The inhabitants openly svmpathised with the

      revolters . and on the J 6 th the public excitement rose to such an extent that General Breton declared the place to be in a state of siege , and distributed his troops in commanding positions . On the same day the political chief issued a bando , directing every eitbert to deliver trp , within twenty-foTir hours , all ihe arms , offensive or defensive , in his possession , under pain of serere penalties . Several domiciliary ¦ risks were made in the course of the 17 th . On the evening of that day { the time of the departure of my advices ) Saragossa was in a very agitated state , and there is little doubt that if Zurbano can maintain himself a few days longer ihe capital of Aragon will pronounce for the constitution of 1837 . General Breton has applied to Ms Government for Temfbrcements .

      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 aytmtamientos to resign , and prononnced for the «> njtitution < rf 1837 « JJome troops and the Custom Hoose officers in the neighbourhood hare been disarmed tritlioiit ^ any difficulty by the insurgents . iJABOttSai . ^^ caBarcelona letter ^ ofthe 16 th .

      . Lower Amwjon , and give the lie completely to the stories dretSated by the Spanish Consul at Bayonne , of his having taken refuge in Navarre , On tho 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 his arrival the political chief of the place nad issued a bando , 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 publish such atrocious and saniniinary mandates

      These orders were at once carried into execution . A battalion of the regiment of Saragossa has pronounced , 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 Guipuscoa in favour of the constitutional cause . Two towns , Ascotia and Aspetia , have i > ro / ioitnced , and General Iturbide has placed himself at the head of the movement . It is reported that a further rising has taken place in the province of Galicia , which is known to be in a state of disaffection .

      MADRin , Nov . 19 . —General Araoz , a distinguished officer , lias been arrested and tlvrown into prison , for no other apparent reason than that he was some years asro the commanding offii-er of General Prim : ( leneral Ramirez , thoueh with the weifrht of eighty years upon his shoulder . * , is ordered off to the Canary Islands , and , on his remonstrating , is arrcrted , thrust into a coach , and carried to the castle of St . Catalina , at Cadiz , till an opportunity offers of sending him beyond the seas . Even ill health is no protection against such men as the agents of Narvaez in Madrid .

      General Espinoza , in the fare of a medical report that be is unfit to be removed , is sent off under an i-scurt to Forto Rico , while General Amstazabal is sent in a similar sumuiary manner to Cuba . Such proceedings would , in any case , l > e harsh anil arbitrary ; but in the present instances , there being in fact no charge against the officers in question , and no reason for their arrest and banishment , but a vague and guilty fear on the part of the Government , their deportation can only be looked upon as the grossest tyrannv ami oppression .

      Phtm . —The greatest attention was still excited by the condemnation of General Prim to an imprisonment of six . years in a form .- « out of the Peninsula . The result of an appeal to the Supreme Council of War and Marine was anxiously awaited . estate t > r the ixsrRRErTion . —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 Debate , Globe , and Prtssf—the fart of seven provinces in Spain being declared in a state of siege—the l-andos of divers

      Captains-Genera ] , decreeing the penalty of death tobe enforced 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 pmrressinc , and that the cause of liberty is gaining strength . The more Xarvaez boasts , of being able to put down the revolt , the more are we satisfied that the reign of his power is ar an end . We cannot forget the significant language of Mendizabel when addressing recently one of the attache * of the Spanish Legation in Paris— " In three montftf' time you irill

      ) 'i * 'Uve your t / rjfr * from n . £ . " The Sentindle d < : < PyriiUff . in announcing the movement of the two towns , Castillo de Echo , and Castillo dp Anso , adds that the insurgents had disarmed 2 ^" . ) troops of the line , in addition to the carbineer * and Custom-house officers . The same journal also declares that the valley of Tena has also made its movement . The Bayonnt' correspondent of the- Xational writes on the 21 st instaut : —

      ' ¦ While Zurbauo \ va 3 beln-ved to be in tht hands of his | enemies , or a solitary wanderer on tht- mountains , tin .-inm-pid chief lias bv a bold mana-mri : got into the capital of the province of Soria , as 1 am told , and finding , on entering , a proclamation of the political chief j > osted up in the streets , giving orders to fire on the insurgent General , or , if taken alive , to shoot him within ; ui hour , Zurban » went imme'liateh ti > the re > idt-nt of the political , arrested him , and applying tu him the lex t < tlionis , had him > bot within the hour . ] am also informed that tinn > K > ps in the city of Soria haic joined the insurrection ; au « l it i > likewise given to nit as a positivv fact that a battalion of the Sarajios . va regiment , sent out in pursuit of Zurbano . ii& > passt-d in a body our to hi .- cause . > o one can tell at what point this terrible and ijidrtiiti ^ ablr ltsxder ma . i appear on the morrow . A letter fruui St .

Movements ^ rt- al * o said to ha ^ e been madi iu Guiicia and

      - ; , according to reports from travellers arrived fr- > iu Spain , the fidelity of thr Queen ' s troops i . s totterinz in all jiarts . An official account has arrived here , annoirnrins that thf wb « lr >> f Tpju-r Arragon has pronouacfd it ^ Jf . ai ) d that tin- var ^ biiiei-rs and otht-r parts of the troops have madf common cause with the insurrection . In . fine , I am i-nablt-d to assure > ou that the report published here in the ministt-rial journal , that the movement i » made in tlie name of Espurti-rt > , i * completely false . Zurbano , and those who second him . raise no other cries than "' The Constitution of 1 S 37 . " " Doim ivith the tyrant ? I" The flags of the liberating army bear these words , ' Isabella II . and the Constitution ' . " Some soldiers , on joining Zurbano , have cried ^ '" Long live Espartcro ! " but this was a souvenir , and not a jxilitical act It is false that Espartero has been proclaimed . The insurrection is made in tie name of the Constitution , and in hatred of . the violent counter-reTolution , and has a character of nationality in which men act from principle .

      Madrid , ~ Sox . 2 ft . —The correspondent of the 77 wj says . " I have it fromairood source that . Zurbano , undisturbed and undismayed , continued to proceed rig-Jit on in the direction he had orieinally , aa it now appears , and as I Ijelieve 1 alreadv anticij ) atcd , he intended " , towards ^ aractissa : and that be l » ad arrived in the neishbourhofnl of Tuiieln , c-J' » o to thi * Arra ironese frontier , at the bead of o'hj infantrj" and 201 ) hoi > e . ii < - had sent a me-vscnirer to Saragassa , to inform hi » friencL * thert of his intention to move on that place .

One fuet is certiiin , that two i-xpres > es arrived here last evening , one witliin an hour or two after the other , with despatches from some of the military authorities in that part of the country to the Ministers of War and for the Interior ; and that the Government has . not published them up to the present hour—and 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 Xarvaez , after perusing the despatches , sent for the couriers who brought them ; and using the very significative sign of placing liis finger on his lips , and drawing his hand across his throat , intimated to them the danger they would ineur by blabbing . The fact , however , that despatches have been received , and that the Gazette , Henildo , and other official and semi-official organs arc silent , is in itself mo ^ t snspieiou- * .

      GERMANY . Distvbbjlsces . —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 again occurred there . The inmates of the prison Brieg , in Siresia . made a desperate attempt to escape oil 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 . Rzfohhs . —The King of Sweden has approved of all the modifications by 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 states during the sitting of the diet . The suppression of all distinctions of nobility amoDgst the members of the supreme tribunal . The abolition of the right of suspending the publication of journals .

      CTRCASSIA AXD GEORGIA . GLORiors Tkichfes of the MorxuuKEERs . —The flying reports which during the last few months have successively reached" Constantinople from Daghestan authorise a belief that the disasters of the Russians and the triumphs of Shamil Bey have , this campaign , been to an extent hitherto unknown . An individual from that country , just arrived from Daghestan , says , that during the hist spring and summer no less than seven or eight severe battles had beeu fought , in which the Russians lost , besides an immense number of men , no less than forty-five plares 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 , carne over to Schamil . '

      On this , the Russian general-in-chief called a couneil of war , which was held at the baths of Sidjak Sou ( this was probably eariv 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 finallv determined that overtures should be made to 5 chamfl Bey for an armistice . Schamil , who was rather short ol provisions , consented to this , on condition that , during the interruption of hostilities , the Russians should furnish his camp -with food , and on these terms an armistice was concluded up to the day 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 ± he Russians , between killed , wounded , and missing , amount to 60 , 000 men ; whilst those of the monntaineers amount to 13 , 000 . This may possibly be true ; but had the numbers been more mpderate , one would have been more likely to give credit to the assertion . Certain it is , that the forces of Russia hare 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 Cabarda are constantly crossing the border , attacking Russian Tillages , and bearag off rich spoils in dares , horses , catSe , sheep , and other property .

      PKESIDENT . : Liverpool , SATUBnA * . — The steam-ship Great Western , Captain Matthews , arrived in the Mersey shortly before noon . She left the ' wharf at New York at fifteen minutes past two o'clock on the afternoon of the 9 th inst ., and made this port in thirteen days sixteen hours and a half , the shortest passage she has accomplished during the season . She brought thirty-one passengers . The contest for the Presidency , esteemed so doubtful , is decided in favour of Polk , foremost in whose policy are the annexation of Texas to the United . States , the support of the institution of slavery , and , to use his own words , "such a tariff for revenue as will yield a sufficient amount to the Treasury as will

      defray the expenses of Government , economically administered . " Other questions are likewise involved in this decision given by the citizens of the United States—the bank question , the distribution of the -surplus revenue , affecting the repudiating States , Native Americanism , and other minor matters . According to the New York Ikrald , tho tariff may be somewhat modified at the next session , though it never can be essentially altered ; no bank , no distribution can take place for the present ; new negociations may be opened for the annexation of Texas , but as the Senate will be Whig for two years at least , nothing can be done effectually as regards that matter for some time to come . This journal

      regards tJie ivJiig party as utterly and for ever disbanded , and conceives that on their ruins will spring up the American Republicans . In another article it reviews the effect of the election upon the repudiating States in respect of the settlement in the negative of the question of dintributing the surplus revenue amon ? the States—a measure of great importance both to this country and to the United States ; and considers it a result most fortuhato for the character of the country and the prospects of the stockholders , as compelling them to depend solely upon themselves in order to redeem their character .

      A Day of Excitestknt is New iokk . —Yesterday was one of the most extraordinary days ever seen in New York . All the principal streets exhibited a popular excitement , which had a character of anxiety more than anything else , to a de { rree altogether unexampled . In the morning the Whig papers came out very boldly , aiid claimed the . "State of New York for Mr . Clay , thereby giving Jiim the Presidency . . Side by side with these journal * thi- ultra-democratic- journals also came out , and claimed the State in the same vtay , by their luvineible figuring for Mr . il ' uik . The rvppeethe readers of those journals sallied out in the morning—and h beautiful morning it was —ihe &unshinu bright und warm , and the air bahnv and inspiriting—and as tiie _\ encountered eac / i other , there could be at once been a difference of opiniuii—a discussion —a debate—a comparison of votrs—and all that variety uf gesture and commotion which indicated unsettled

      minds in both parties after going through the discussion . What ga * e edge and interest to the speculations anil disc-. ist-i-vn ^ nf man oti \» v ; all-absorbing ti > piv > rf the day , wsi . s-tJir fact , that immense sums of moue _ > were pending on the result in the Stale wf Nev- York , and also ou the general question . At a very low estimate it may be reckoned that Several millions are pending in this city on the result of local elections , and als « of the general election : ami if we include in this estimate the probable amounts pending in the various cities ami 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 jreneral result being ascertained . This is , perhaps , one of the weightiest reasons which can be assigned for the intense 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 probanili | tieB 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 of Tage against the " natives , " for cheating them out of a large majority in New York , after 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 consequence of the coalition with the " natives , " aud they

      are _ now extremely fuiious in their abuse of their respectable allies , whom they accuse of being cheats , recreants , and rogues , for not voting—as they had given the "Whigs reason to suppose—for Mr . Clay . On the other hand , others of the same party were equally loud and indignant in their denunciations of the abolitionists—" fanatics "— " the egregious blockheads , " who-were sticking by their own man instead of voting for Mr . Clay . All sorts of vengeance were indeed vowed by the W ? iigs against the abolitionists , because they had thrown away their votes on such a man as Birney , instead of electing such a glorious " feller" as Henry Clay .

      Throughout the afternoon it was generally agreed that the vote of the State of New 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 , that whoever gotrthe vote of New York would get the Presidency . 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 businjess districts , in some parts of Broadway , at the hotels , and in many

      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 np 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 York liad gone for Folk and Dallas , and then such a shout rose up to heaven as we never before heard—some cursing , some swearings—some hurrahing , as wild as the very sends themselves . :

      Altogether this h&s 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 Presidency will relieve multitades of a great deal of anxiety , a great deal of uneasiness , and a great deal more money than they can well spare .

      test for the Presidency in America has filled the Torjj $ ress of Engknd with loud niouthings against popular rights ; " arid as foiil practicesof every desetip ^ tion have been charged upon , the Chartist supporters of Polk , we beg to present the enemy with the following account of the manoeuvres of their American partisans . We extract the following from the Democratic Ccuptqqign of the 2 nd November : — Impoet + nt 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 Polble ballots . We have a package of them before us , printed on thiu paper , procured from their central source of supply , with peculiar marks , and ingeniously folded with « li ' ttlo 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 . The 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 bo drawn out by lot—a . process by which , in such a case , the Democratic party alone must suffer . These have been sent uniformly all over the State ; and in counties where the tickets had been already printed , the latter are dust roved , and the fraud nlcut double ballots substituted . There is no deception uor n Jstakc in this information . The same system is doubtless extended to Othel' States . It may , perhaps , be too late now to counteract this vile treason ; but wherever this paptv vuivy vcaih in ' season before the election , we summon our friends to ho on their guard , uud to insist that the inspector * shall examine eacii ballot before it ! iu < -s into the box .

      I reached this town yesttnlay , in the stage couch from Nashville , forty miles , on u good turnpike road . This is one of the finest eounties of luitd in the State , and inhabited by an intelligent and wealthy class of people . As you are aware , Gov . I ' olk , the Democratic candidate fur President , resides in this plum I had the honour of taking tea at his house last evening , and of enjoying the Society of himself aud 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 , brund , and fu 1 , and perpendicular , if not proJuoUnv : ' - The uppur part , rf the head rises high above the ears . The organs of benevolence , veneration , and firmnes . s are prominently developed . Col . Polk ' s character , through a long public life , is known to correspond with these characteristics of his mind .

      He represented the . Congressional district in which lit lives , for fourteen years . While he has at all times had strung political opponents in Tennessee , he is without a personal onemv in the State . All , with one * accord , de-C'lare , that they know of no spot vr blemish on Colonel Polk ' s whole private life . , that a better neighbour , a kinder master , a more indulgent and faithful husband , or a more upright , honest , beiievoUnt and moral man , thvy never knew . When the Koorhark slaud .-r reached Tennessee , eved the Whigs eried out , " Sliutnc , —oh . ' for shame . " Of all the slanders e \ cr started against ljim , this was the most unlike the truth . All his opponents in

      Tennessee admit that there is not a kinder man to his servants to be found in the State . Col . Polk Ls not rich . He has a nioderate-propertj , and owing nothing , is independent . He doet not own forty * la "> os in l \ if world . What ho has , consist of families , many of them small , having inherited them principally through hi .- , lady . He has parted with . some of his best servant- to gratify their wish tobe with tht'i r vi'iws . In nihrr iiiNtaucf-s tu- has j > uj- - cha .-ed lit liigh rates the wives of his men from other parties , and also the husbands < it' hi- woini-si , in ord ^ r , as far as possible , to keep families together , and h \ that means to make them more comfortable and happy .

      His lady is both beautiful add accomplished , and is a cv . iisis-tv . it ivii'mber of the Presbyterian church . There is not » Iminaii being living that i- an encmj of hers . It is painful to rind that a man like Colonel I ' olk , whose tWiote life lias been pure and without reproach , should be so shamefully assailed as lie has been . iJuring his whole life he has been strictl y a temperance man in everything ; in liquor , tobaceo . in eating , and * | in all respects . He never gambled . In all his life he never gave or accepted u challenge t >> light a duel . He is an anti-dueltist on Christian principles . Hi" bcliuvs duelling to be nti-irally wrong , and Iv . vs tin- mitral vuurage l >> put in practice the moral principles he professes . He is a much greater man , and a much better man , than the world , and especiaiM his opponents , have ever given him credit fur . He is u tiKnk-Kt and retiring man , but bold and timi 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- * -1 > rare and vulu . 'ihlr trait of character .

      He made a good and faithful representative , an able and etticient Governor , a prompt , able , and impartial Speaker of the House of Representatives ; and , if elected , will make an 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 ( fen . Jaekaon , but am happy to learn that the old patriot enjoys better health of late , exhibiting tokens of a calm and contented green old age .

      CaI'Tihe of Bi ; rokss , the 15 niTis » Fori ; j ; k . —This villain was raptured on Light-house Island , in Boston harbour , and was safely lodged in Levant-street gaol , ready i ' or delivery to the British authorities . Neville , aji Irishman , living on the island , and at whose house burgess stopped , received 300 dollars reward on the spot . We subjoin the following particulars : — Burgess , who was apprehended soon after Elder strangled himself in the gaol of Boston , in a most miserable condition , in a small inland 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 baying 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 tho 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 ready 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 on his way to a plac « of appointment . The bag , which contained £ 126 in gold , and in dollars and notes £ 468 , was directly sent back to the hotel , -while the pursuit was

      continued . In tho most wretched condition , with no more than 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 milea across the water , and there remained under shelter for nearly a nigjit and day . He then sent tho owner of the cottage with a note to a Mr . Grant , who had had some transactions with him in a pecuniary way , requesting money . Mr . Grant , who had l > een duly informed of the forgery and robbery of the Bank of England , immediately gave the information where it could be made most available , and the person who knew the place of concealment of the fug itive was prevailed upon—but not without a great deal of persuasion , and a reward of 300 dollars—to give Mm up to the police .

      It was evident from tho whole or the proceedings of Burgess and Elder , after their arrival in America , that they looked with the utmost confidence to permanent security from arrest . 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 he 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 l > efore the

      jury that the deceased was found dead in the gaol by strangling himself with his silk handkerchief , the same handkerchief being fastened to the grate of the window of the room of the prison . The 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 ia 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 pubiisnea a paper tiiere . One of Sidney Rigdon's men had addressed a meeting of the sect in JScw 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 . He and Hiram went out , he said , to the prairie to call on tii 6 name of the Lord , and then Joe beheld in vision the tragical scene in which ho was soon to take a part at Carthage gaol . From that moment Joe was an altered man—he loBt 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 London account of -hbtransgi-easionamthaJLhe did not apostatize , but he " wrought abominations , " and was therefore deemed unfit to direct " the kingdom , " and share in its triumphs . The transgression was in introducing the " spiritual wife system . " On this subject itjwas expected that the " elder" would hare gone into ! the details , and exposed it fully ; But he contented himself with a general denunciation of itsaid that ! it was universally prevalent at Nauvooand that it was to free "the Church " from that evil

      that Sidney Rigdon had taken a separate stand . Elder "Winchester called on all the faithful to come oat and separate themselves at once from their cor rupt brethren at Nauvoo , which was , he said , doomed to destruction , and was fast falling into decay on account of its iniquities . The " Twelve Apdstles , " as they call themselves , were very busy at Nauvoo in the very clelectable business of defaming and slandering one iinother . It is estimated that the recent Mormon > v ar will cost the state of Illinois 20 , 000 dols ., and that the aggregate expense incurred during the vear on account of the Mormons would not fall short

      Leeds Cloth Market , Thursday . —There appears to bo a shade of improvement in the cloth markets , though the stocks in the cloth halls are much greater than they were a iVw weeks ago , indicating a falling off in the demand . State of Trade . —Owing to the advance ot tie season , the demand for yarn ( which has been so eiceedingly active during the last few weeks ) has dot somewhat abated , and rather lower prices were yesterday accepted for certain descriptions of warp and of cop-weft , which had previously commanded higher relative prices than other sorts . For all the ordinary shipping numbers and qualities , however , the pricS remain quite as high as heretofore . For goods , the demand is still limited , with a slight tendency to a decline in prices , in some few fabrics . —ilomcktM Guardian of Wednesday .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday Nov . .- " At our market thismorning Wheat met an extrentfif limited sale , and we repeat , nominally , the quotations of this daysc'nnight . There continues to be an absence of all activity in the demand for every-defflr tionofsack Flour , and on even the best qu ^ JfiJ decline of fiillv Is . per sack was submitted to , fT . on that of middling and inferior manufactures a Wither reduction would have been made had ""^/ l come forward .
