      way .

The Count d « las Navaz complained * of the military taking the law into iheir own 'bsods , and gave notice of a morion on the subject a ? soon aB the house was constituted ; adding , that liberty would not perish while there were deputies taVre- His remarks brought up Narva * z in a great passion , who said that there was a plan foxHT .-g for discrediiing the army , who were the defenders of liberty , which would not perish while te "was at the head of the troops . Some personal recrimination took place , and is is rumoured that a dnei is nut nnSkely to result from it .

From these papers we give tho Jollowing extracts : The Elections—Tho elections for Siate officers have been btld in Georgia , Maryland , Pennsylvania , and >> ew Jersey .

      In Georgia and Maryland the _ Whigs have been successful . In Pensylvania it is doubtful which pany has the legislature . A majority of the Congressional representatives are certainty Democratic . In K = w Jersey , where the Whigs bad the ascendancy , they h&ra been coinpeteiy overthrown , and Democracy is now triumphant .: Instead of the Whigs having a majority , as they had the last session of their legislature , they have now only about one-third of the members elect . GuTERjroB Jpses , of TeneFgee , had published hie mes ? aj > e to the Legislature of that state . In it he deprecated the doctrine of repudiation , and strongly enforced tbe prompt meeting , on the part of the state , of all is .- engagements .

      Thb Ktic York Herald of the 4 th mst ., says" The mails this morning bring accounts of ' frost ' at Cbarlston . There is a great difference , however , in the * first-frest . * The one in question is a -white froai , the operation ot which is to open tbe bolls throw tbe cotton ont to the ran , and thereby bring it 10 ^ aaturiiy earlier . It is a hard or * biack frost ' which stops the developement of the cotton , and siains it . This has not yet occurred . " A Is £ w Town ik Flobida . —The former inhabitants of Fori Leon , in Florida ( one of the towns which was almost entirely destroyed by a hurricane and inundation on the 13 ih ) , have selected a new site for a town , ( one two or three miles higher up tbe Si .

Tne malcontents wanted to get him out of prison , give him the semblance of a trial , and deliberately murder him by banging ! The reason assigned by them for this course 13 that the people of tbe town desired the' acquittal of the prisoner , of whose sanity at the time ot the murder much doubt exists in the public mind . The Sheriff has ordered the captains of the various volunteer companies to be in readiness to march at a moment ' s warning , to defend tbe prison , should the mob ba so reckless as to attempt carrying out their scheme .

      [ Suoh domgB as these bring disgrace upon Democratic principles ; and do more to retard the progress of liberty than all the persecutions that tyrants have recourse to , to stop the march of human progression .

      ASiiTOK-TJNDEH-LlNE . —Several of the millowners , ^ to their praise be it said , have given the list prices ; whilst others of them , up to the present , refuse to do so ; and one firm in particular , in order to prtrait their hands from getting that support which is indispensably necessary , to enable them successfully to struggle with them for the same rate of wages as many of the other masters are paying , have circulated a report that their men are not on strike for wages , but to compel them , the masters , to take into their employ a man whom they discharged for spoiling hiB work . This is false . The truth is that the men are willing to go to their work ,

      the moment the employers will give thorn the list price . We are happy to state that Mr . Wood , of Glossop , has given the power loom weavers in his employ an advance of one penny per piece this week . He was paying one farthing per piece less than the other masters before . By this advance he is paying three farthings more ; we suppose to make amends for the wages his workpeople havs suffered by working for lesa than their neighbours . Also the Droylsden masters have given an advance of three farthings and a penny per piece , and an advance of one shilling per week to the card room hands in both of the above cases .

      The Schoolmaster Abroad . —The Nation says" Twtlve months a ^ o and all the world could hot produce a People so ignorant of their own history .

      The Mitre a . Nightckp . —The other Sunday , Henry , Lord Bishop ot Exeter , according to the Western Times " took his seat upon hia throne , drew the curtains around him , and made all snug for meditation . " Dr . Coleridge , of Thorvertoa , preached . At the conclusion of the homily , the congregation , expecting the customary episcopal benediction , remained sitting . A breathless pause eimied . All eyes wore turned towards the throne . Had anything happened to his Lordship ! The verger crossed over , and timourously rapped with his mace . There was another pause , broken by—a snore , which proceeded from the episcopal snuggery . The official knocked again , louder ; the response was repeated , more sonorously . Another knock : a downright

      whack : and up jumped the Lord Bishop ; shook himself , and pronounced the blessing . The Western Times infers that the right rev , prelate was asleep . Now , whether this BUiry is " a thing devised by the enemy , " or not , we do not know . Nor , supposing it to be true , do we know which to blame the bishop , or the parson . Prelates are human ; narcotics will an > ct the nervous system : and even episcopal vigiiauce must yield to opium . Whether , therefore , Dr . Coleridge mesmerised Bishop Philpotts ; or whether a voluntary dismissal of ideas produced this cScct ; or whether it . was owing to a devout abstraction of the mind from sublunary things , consummated in a holy trauce , we are quite unable to say . The supposed circumstance of a bishop ' s sleeping in church , to have been published as a piece of news ,

      must have been regarded as something extraordinary — we doubt if it is so . An episcopal snore in church certainly is an uncommon acoustic phenomenon ; but if prelates do not sleep in the church , certain questions that we would ask are not easily answerable . How came it that Christianity was unknown in the mines and factories ? How was it that the extent ef destitution , metropolitan and provincial , has been but lately brought to light ! , How happened it that the first appeal on behalf of the houseless sleepers in Hyde-park to public charity war made b y the Times ? Whence arose the sale of pews and sittings ; How is ic tbat tho " superior olatsts" drive to ohurch in their carnages , and leave their servants on t ' ue box outside ! Verily , too many of their lordships muBt nave been sleeping in the church . —Punch .

      Hospitality . —Hospitals are some of the most admirable institutions ' of Christian philanthropy , and especially those which are established for the relief of the sick and maimed . " They rise , like shelters in affliction's storm , And welcoming the pallid , tott'ring form , They soften pain—arrest the parting breath , And save the . sufferer from untimely death . " There is one reflection , however , which is snre to rise on this subject , viz ., that sickness and suffering in their cure , are not so deserving of notice as they would be in their prevention . Tnis latter desirable object has been gained in tho simple compound of Old Parr ; and the time , perhaps , is not far distant , whe » there will be little or no necessity for the institution ot" Hospitals ;"

      Destructive Fires . —On Saturday night , shortly after twelve o ' clock , the police constable on dix'j discovered a quantity of Bmoke issuing , from some of tho windows of the premises No . 3 , Oxford Arms Passage , Warwick-lane , New-lane , Newgate-street , in the occupation of Mr . Nasb , manufacturer of British plate . On the doors being forced , the whole of tbe lower part of the bnilding was discovered in flames . The interior of Mr . Wash ' s premises was almost wholly destroyed , together with the furniture and the greater part of the valuable stook , estimated at nearly £ 3 , 000 , the amount destroyed supposed to be worth £ 2 , 000 , the sum insured in the Sun Fire Office . Some carnage was sustained to the roofs of No . 2 , adjoining ; of

      the stables of the houses of Mr . Edward Sherman ; and of Mr . Matthews and Mr . Waight , meat salesmen , No . 11 , and No . 12 , Warwick-lane , while the furniture was damaged by water aud removal . Last evening , about seven o ' clock , a fire broke out on the premises known as the " Ostend' rabbit warehouse , Newcutj Lambeth . Within five minutes after its discovery the wiiole contents of the shop were in flames . Information ; was quickly forwarded to the firemen while engaged at a fire which had taken place about an hour previously in some eai-pentora ' workshopa at the back of thft Surrey theatre . Engines were brouaht into operation ; but notwithstanding aueb timely assistance , before the fltmes could be subdued , the stock in the shop , as well as some household furniture of considerable value , were

      entirely destroytd . The Nottingham Review states , ** that the late Dr . Parry , of Bath , had at one time under his care two patients who had attempted to cut short or to ease a paroxysm of gout by plunging the afflicted foot into cold watdr . This gave instant relief to the pain , and in both instances the inflammation presently abated , but in both also palsy of one half of the body occurred in a few hours afterwards . " This terrible affliction with its train of evils could not by the martyrs have been in the most remote degree contemplated . Cruel as the sufferings are to those that endure this sad malady , consolation i 8 derived from a knowledge that the improvements in medical science have led to the discovery of Blare ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills , from the use of whioh the afflicted have ever found reilef .

      A Steamer on i iaii in the Rivek . —Between the hours of [ five and six on Sunday morning , a fire broko out on board the Aika Craig steam ship , Capt . Dawson commander , moored off the Leith and Ber wiok wharf , Irongate-stairs , at t ^ e Tower . The steamer , which Was of between 200 and" 3 U 0 tons burden , arrived off the wharf mentioned from Yarmouth on Sunday afternoon , having a heavy cargo on board , consisting of several hundred sacks of flour , several tons of mustard , besides bale 3 of si ! kr wool , cottonj , and goods of every description . The fire was discovered by the Captain of the Princess Royal steamer , which was lying alongside , who percieved the amoke issuing through the deck . At the time the crew of ( ho Ail ? a Craig were fast asleep below ; th ey ! were instantly alarmed , and the hatchway torn off io get at the fire , which was found to be of fearful extent—the whole of the citrgo appearing to ba in a blazo . No sooner had the alarm boen

      raigod than , jtho brigade flocitiug-engincs were unmoored and conveyed £ 0 ihe fire . After the engines had been got into operation , thebvanehea were directed into the hold , and torrents of water pound upon the burning cargo , which not having the desired effect , hoies were ctU in various parts of the deck so as to reach the fire , but even this was of little avail , the flames stili racing , and with increased fury , for several hours . Several a tempts wero made to get at the firo by firemen descending into the hold ] with the engine branch , but they were unable to remain many seconds in consequence of

      tho oppressive heat and su 5 bcaiiu& effluvia tfiat arose from the burning mustard . Tho only chance remaining to save the ship was either to skuttle her or fill the hold ! w " ith water . Already was there four feet of water , which had been pumped in by the floating-engines , and it was determined that they should coutiijue playing until the eniire of the cargo wasflooded . ] This , although not accomplished until near eleven o ' clock , extinguished the flimea but tho damage done in the meanwhile was v ^ ry considerable , so much so , iudeed , that the vessel will have to go into dock to repair . The loss , it is said wiiJ amount ! to £ L 000 .

      Jack in a Fix . —A rather ludicrous circumstance took place a few days since . A party of seamen belonging toi the Vanguard were returning stores preparatory to the paying off the ship , when one of them wagered that he would squeeze himself through the ripg at the end of the main-yard by which the 8 tuddiug-yard is projected . All bands immediately dropped work to witness the interesting performance , and Jack having inserted his feet first , got the ring round his waist . Unfortunately , however , his shoulders were too broad , and his arms too lusty , to

      permit him to pass entirely through the ring , aud after several j unavailing attempts , he admitted that his fair proportions had defeated him . Jack , therefore , proceeded to "back out" of it , bm alas , his hips prevented him . In this "fix * ' bo remained for fo mo time , and amidst shouts of laughter from his messmates , which were renewed again and aaain as he struggled j and writhed to escape . Ultimately , however , a shipwright was sent for , and having removed the j roller , Jack wa 3 released from this peculiar kind of " laving out" on the vard .

      THE CASE OF POISOIflNOt BY ST 7 LFHATE OF POTASS . , CENTRAL CRrMENAL COURT , MONDAY , OCT . 30 . William Haynes , aged 25 , described in the calendar aa an oilman , was charged with the wilful murder of Mary , hia wife , by administering to her excessive dosea of sulphate of potas 3 , in const quence of which she died on the 28 th September . Mr . Pkendergast conducted the prosecution , and Mr . Wilkiks and Mr . Wylde defended tueprisoner . Mr . PrenderGast stated the facts of the case which h . a ? e already been pabliahed , and called a num . ber of Tritnesscas in support of the charge , who were ably cross-cxammsd by Mr . Wilkhsa .

      Mr . Wilk tA'S tfeen addressed tbe jury for the defence ; and commented severely on the manner in which the prosecution had bean conducted ; and also upon the me < 1 icai evidence which had been given , by a man who possessed neither diploma nor license , aud who had suffered bis feelings to be so far enlisted in tha case , tbat bo might be called the prosecuting doctor . He then put to the jury whether there was any proof that tha apoplexy of which the deceased died had been produced by the administration of tbe sulphate of potasH . They had no evidence as to tba woman's habits ; they had heard that she was predisposed to apoplexy ; they had beard that mental anxiety aud tbat intemperate habits would produce apoplexy , and yet no evMeace bad been given as to tbe previous habits of the deceased . Suppose

      she bad taken these medicines of her own accord , how ceuhl they find the prisoner guilty ? Medical men were frequently in the habit , where former parturitions ha i been attended with extreme danger , of producing abortion . But in this case the woman wa 3 not pregnant , and the probability was that she knew it , aud had most likely informed the prisoner so ; and if the medicine had been given to prevent conception , that wa « no crime . Gould they believe that the prisoner had intended to kill bis wife ? What man in the kingdom could say that tbe probable ; result of admistering two ounces of sulphate of potass would pro * duce death ? Under the circumstances ,: he submitted , thac it was impossible that the jury could convict the prisoner of the crime of murder . As to what Mr .

      Pickering had stated about the prisoner ' s dislike to children , he did not believe it . The policeman was present the whole time , and he had not heard it . The counsel for the prosecution bad not alluded to it ; he bad not heard it . Mr . Pickering , who had been examined before tbe Coroner anil the Magistrate , could not have forgotten- it ; and yet he bad never mentioned it before . He did not believe it He wished he could have laid before tbe jury , from soma of tbe witnesses for the prosecution , what h&i taken pl uc * in the' prison when the prisoner ' s child had an interview with him . Ha wished they could have seen how that child hod clung around him . That was the voice of nature , and nature never lied . Gould they

      believe thu evidence of Mr . Pickering as to tbe cause ef death J He did not pretend that he bad any diploma ox that be bad undergone any examination , bnt he asked them to baliev * him as to the cause of death on the strength of his having for thirty years experimentalised on human existence . If they had any doubt as to toe cause of death they must acquit the prisoner . Liw was stated to be the perfection of reason , and waa it not most unreasonable to put the prisoner upon the same footing aa the midnight assassin . He had always been kind and attentive to bis wife ; and whatever migiit be the result of this inquiry , he had , in consequauca of her loss , already suffered mote than it was ia toe power of any human hand to icflict upon him .

      Several witnesses were called , who had known tha prisoner for some years ; all gave him the character of a very kind and humane man . They were crosa-examined by Mr . Prenderuast . Mr . Justice WighTMan summed up , and said that if tbe jury sneuld be of opinion that the prisoner had adniiuittered the drug to the deceased for the purpose of procuring abortion tney most find him guilty , aven if they should be of opinion that he had no intention of killing her ; thai was if , in their opinion , the administration of the sulphate , of potass had been the cause of death . It was for them to aay whether the medical testimony was sufficient to satisfy them that the admidistration of the sulphate of-potass had been the cause of death ; if they were not satisfied on that point , they must acquit the prisoner . The Jury then proceeded to deliberate on their verdict , and having retired for three quarters of an hoar , returned into Court with a verdict of—Not Guilty .

      The prisoner , who is a good-looking yoaagman , was dressed in genteel mourning . He seemed deeply affected during tbe whole of the proceedings , and frequently shed tears .

      CHARGE OF CHILD MDBDEB . In the case of Edward Dwyer , charged with murdering his infant child by dashing its head against a counter , Mr , Hnrry , on behaif of the prisoner , applied to have the trial postponed until next sessions , it . consequence of tbe absence of several material witnesses for the defence , who could depose aa to the state of the prisoner ' s mind . Tr » e application , which was not opposed , was granted by the Court .

      much business was doing , yet previous rates wore supported . The demand for Foreign Wheat , was slow , yet the currencies underwent no alteration . In bonded sorts nothing was doing .

The Malt trade was , on the whole , dull , but we have no change to notice in the value of this article .
