LONDON, AUGUST 23.
LONDON, AUGUST 23. THE intelligence from Warsaw comes down to the 4th instant, from which itappearsthat General Dembrinski and his brave comrades had arrived at Praga after a march of 700 English miles, in the course of which they had every day to fight for their victuals as well as for their lives. They were received at Warsaw, both by the President and official authorities, as well as by the people at large, with the greatest enthusiasm.—In the mean time the Emperor Nicholas has issued another Proclamation, in which he holds out no terms to the Patriots but absolute and unconditional submission. The Autocrat affects to regret that his former appeals had produced such little fruit, and calls upon the Poles to make their peace before the door of conciliation is finally closed against them, assuring them that he is still paternally disposed to take his misguided rebellious children into favour, provided always they propitiate his clemency by a prompt surrender. The Poles reject this uncompromising offer with scorn, and the greatest unanimity prevails amongst them. Nine physicians and surgeons have died at St. Petersburgh in the course of their zealous attention to the Cholera patients. The whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday arrived this morning. The King's Answer to the Address of the Chamber of Deputies, which was given on Thursday, is entirely silent on the affairs of Poland but his Majesty in the most formal manner, declares his intention of imme- diately recalling the French troops from Belgium. This declaration is re-echoed and strengthened by the Moniteur, which repeats that the most perfect understanding continues to exist between the Cabinet of the Palais Royal and the other Courts of the Continent. These reiterated assurances are regarded as so many additional gaarautees for the further continuance of peace. It is stated by one of these papers, and with some confidence, that the Great Powers had at length decided upon recognizing the independence of Poland. The Brussels Papers, which arrived yesterday, are to the 20th. It appears that the King of Belgium has directed an inquiry into the late military transactions, of all ranks, during the late events. M. Charles de Brouckere is appointed Mi- nister of War. The private letters from Lisbon are of painful interest. Rendered more savage by the reverses and humiliations to which he is exposed from without, the tyrant Don Miguel seems to indemnify himself for his mortifications by the severity of his treatment of all those unfortunate persons suspected of liberal opinions who are placed in his power at home. They are arrested in hundreds every day and sent to loathsome dungeons; and there is scarcely a family in Lisbon which has not to mourn the absence of some member sacrificed to the tyrant's jealousy. He has lately given an order for clearing out all the prisons, in order to make room for new tenants; and fresh atrocities are meditated. Our countrynen appear to be marked objects of detestation to the Miguelites Several Englishmen have lately been grossly 19 insulted and ill-treated, and on the Consul remonstrating with the Government, he was informed that those who did not like it might leave the country Lieutenants Parnell and Fitzroy, of his Majesty's ship Briton, in taking an ex- cursion into the country, were attacked by a body ot pea- sants, robbed, and beaten with bludgeons in a most dreadful manner. They were afterwards found by some country- women lying on the ground almost dead. With that sympathy which woman seldom fails to exersise for the dis- tressed, they immediately conveyed our countrymen to the nearest cottage, dressed their wounds, paid them every possible attention, and, at length, had the happiness of seeing them safely conveyed on board the Briton. Lieutenants Parnell and Fitzroy were, however, in a very pitiable condi- tion.—A great portion of the French fleet still remains in the river, but their stay seems to have relation only to the pecuniary claims of France, and not to the misfortunes or miseries of the slighted sufferers in the Constitutional cause. His Majesty held a Chapter of the Order of the Garter on Saturday, when the Duke of Saxe Meiningen, previously elected a Knight, wasinvested with the insignia of the Order. Ministers have determined to strike a Medalin commemo- ration of the approaching Coronation. Lord Loughborough and the Hon. Henry Fitzroy (both Anti-reformers) have taken their seats as Members for Great Grimsby. Part of the mast of the Victory, the ship in which the im mortal Nelson closed his career of glory, has within these few days been placed in the main Guard Chamber of Windsor Castle, where it stands surmounted with a bust of the Hero of Trafalgar.—The bust is a fine one of bronze, lately brought from Bushy, and the mast stands seven feet high, and serves as a pedestal. It is a curious circumstance in the war on the Scheldt, q + ftjif ^J'^entvand the uncle of our future '(paonpojd an uaqi nuns se OIBS JO suoinpuo ensi'ing -ons>) nopiuaim am i«t th his Majes- ty s well known paternal regard for that popular branch of the national service. It is stated that after the approaching Coronation the doors are to be closed against all promotion, from favour or otherwise, not strictly within the rigid rules of the service and the late restrictive regulations. All pro- motions must then meet the sanction of the Treasury. Miss Wellesley, the "infant" daughter of Mr. Long Wellesley, has been brought back from Paris, and restored to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery. In conse- quence, the Lord Chancellor has directed the discharge of Mr. Wellesley from the Fleet prison, on his payment of costs. Mr. W. accordingly left the Fleet this day. Verily there is a great fuss about this family. The Rev. H. C. Bulteel, M.A., curate of St. Ebbe's, Ox- ford, has lately received a letter from the Bishop of Oxford intimating that his Lordship had thought proper to remove him from the curacy, in consequence of his having recently preached in the open air in Devonshire, &c. ° A strong contest is going on for the city of Dublin. Mr. Latouche and Sergeant O'Loughlin oppose Lord Ino-estrie and Mr. Shaw (the Recorder), both Anti Reformers. At the close of the poll on the second day, the Recorder had a majority of 92, and Lord Ingestrie a majority of 89. During the Assize week at Norwich, Paganini received 8001. for three nights' fiddling He is to have 1000Z. at the Dublin musical festival! The accounts from the Hop plantations from all quarters describe them as very finely in blossom, and literally clear of vermin. All the capital convicts (27) at the last Old Bailey Sessions have been respited. It has been decided by the Magistrates at Bow-street, that eating-houses are liable to receive billeted soldiers. The Floating Bridge across the Dart, near Dartmouth, was opened on Friday.

HORRID MURDER AT BRIGHTON.-About ten days since, part of the mangled remains of a woman named Celia Hol- lotcay, wife of a man in the Coast Blockade, were found buried in a copse at Preston, near Brighton, and a foetus of what turned out to be a male child, fully formed, protruding from the trunk The head and other parts of the body were found on Tuesday, in an outhouse not far from where Holloway, her husband, lived. The limbs, it was stated by a surgeon at the inquest, had been removed in a way that few persons not acquainted with disjointing could have managed. It turns out that Holloway had at one time been a butcher afterwards he became a brick-layer. His marriage with the murdered woman was a compulsory one she was with child by him, and the prudent churchwardens forced him to marry her. He was then 19, and his partner 26 this was six years ago. At the time of the above discovery he was living with another woman named Ann Kennard; who, on being taken into custody, represented that Holloway had married her on the 16th March last, under the name of Goldsmith. The same night Holloway voluntarily surrendered himself to the Police Authori- ties and he has been committed to Horsham Gaol. When exa- mined, he merely said he had parted with his wife (the murdered woman) about a month ago, when she went towards London. He was known to have habitually ill-treated her. On Saturday however, Holloway made a voluntary confession of his crime before the Magistrates at Horslam, in which he spoke of cutting his wife's body to pieces with his own bread-and-cheese knife, just as if he was telling about having slaughtered a sheep, and with as little remorse as if he had killed a dog. After stating that his wife's relations behaved unkindly to him, and drove him from home, and that his wife had done every thing she could to destroy his peace of mind, he determined (he said) to be revenged on them all, by murdering her that having in vain tried to per- suade her to walk out with him, that he might secretly despatch her, he took the house in Donkey-row,and under pretence of again living with her, he induced her to accompany him, without her having the least suspicion of his diabolical intentions After he got her inside the house, he seized herbv the throat unawares and she fell to the ground. He drew her under a chest of drawers, and continued pressing upon her throat with all his force, until he had strangled her. When she had ceased strug- gling, he took out his knife, and cut her throat He did not strip the body but finding that he could not carry oft' the corpse whole, so as to dispose of it in a secret place, he determined to cut it in pieces, to enable him to remove apart at different times. He cut of the head, and divided the limbs with his knife, and cut her in the manner in wl;i the remains of the body were found. He put the trunk of the deceased and the thighs into a box and he carried them to the place (the Lovers'-walk) at Preston where he dug a hole and buried them. [He did not allude to the head and limbs found in the privy ] He was the only person in the house when the murder was committed—" he alone did it he was the guilty person, and no one else." He was prompted to M1? f feeling of revenge towards his wife and her relations. J he Magistrates, having read the statement to the prisoner, which was taken down in writing by M r. Steadman (their clerk), the prisoner took np a pen and signed his name to the paper. He was then removed to his cell in the gaol, and observed that his mind was relieved of a great burden.
LOSS OF THE ROTH-SA YCASTLE…
LOSS OF THE ROTH-SA YCASTLE STEAMER, On her Passage from Liverpool to Beaumaris. It is our melancholy duty, this week, to record one of the most appalling calamities that has occurred within our me- mory, —namely, the loss of the Rothsay Castle steamer, which left Liverpool on Wednesday morning for Beaumaris, Menai Bridge, Bangor, and Carnarvon, with, it is believed, upwards of one hun- dred passengers besides her regular crew, of whom only twenty- one individuals have been saved, so that at the lowest computa- tion more than eighty lives have been lost The vessel, it appears, after having left the Ormshead, made directly for Puffin Island, and about twelve o'clock she reached a bank situated about three miles from Puffin Island, or Priest- holme, and known by the name of Dutchman's Bank. At this time it was just low water, the wind blowing N. N.W. a heavy gale. Unfortunately the vessel bad been driven so far to the northward, and owing to this circumstance as well as to the low- ness of the tide, she struck with great violence on the bank. We should state, however, that for two hours before this time the vessel had become exceedingly leaky, and the crew and passen- gers worked at the pumps by turns, three at a time. When the vessel struck the shock was tremendous, and the shrieks of the passengers, particularly the females and chi!dren, whose appre- hensions now now gave way to despair, are described by the sur- vivors as agonizing in the extreme. It is impossible to describe the scene which followed. After the first shock the passengers, most of whom had crowded upon deck, were ordered by Captain Atkinson to go aft. They had scarcely done this, when she struck again with a violent shock, and then lay upon the bank on her starboard side. The alarum bell was now rung with so much violence that the clapper broke, and some of the passengers continued to strike it for some time with a stone. The bell was heard, we believe, at Beaumaris, but as there was no light hoisted on the mast of the steamer, those who heard the signal were of course ignorant from whence it proceeded. The sea was running mountains high, and every wave broke over the vessel; but the moon was shining throughout the whole of this distressing scene with a clear and calm serenity. A very short time after the vessel struck, a report was spread that the Captain was overboard. This proved to be the case. The violence with which the waves broke over the deck rendered it almost impossible for the passengers to preserve their footing, and we believe that several individuals were at this time washed overboard. The females, in particular, uttered the most piercing cries some locked themselves in each other's arms, while others, losing all self command, tore off their caps and bonnets in the wildness of despair. Jones, the steward of the vessel, and his wife, who was on board,lashed themselves to the mast, determined to spend their last moments in each other's arms. It is impossible to pursue the details of such a scene, or to pourtray to the imagina- tion all the circumstances of horror by which it was accompanied. Soon after the vessel struck, a party of the passengers, about 15 or 20, lowered the boat and crowded into it. It was impossible for any open boat to live in such a sea, even though not over- loaded and she immediately swamped and went to the bottom, with all who had made tlnslasthopeless effort for self-preservation Soon afterwards, the vessel being struck by a tremendous sea, separated in two, and one half, on which were about 40 persons, was carried away. Among these was Mr. John Nuttal, of Bury, whose life was ultimately preserved. Mr. Nuttal, on being carried away, c] unginstinctively to the first object which presented itself to his grasp, and found it to consist of a portion of the wreck, about two and a half yards square, consisting of the rudder-wheel, and a portion of the timber to which it was attached. Five other persons were also .adhering to the same fragile sup- port, and among them was a boy, son of the helmsman, who had climbed on Mr. NuttaFs back, and clung rouad his neck. These six individuals succeeded in picking up three others, and afforded them a refuge. Among these was Miss Whittaker, of Bury, who was caught by Mr. Nultal by the hair of the head, as she was swept passed them, and thus almost miraculously preserved. They remained in this position, drifting before the wind and tide, until seven o'clock in the morning. For the first four or five hours the tide was flowing, and carried them towards land, but when it began to ebb, they were carried out to the sea. Their de- liverance was thus effected. Having caught a piece of timber which was floating past them, they tied a handkerchief to it, and waved it as a signal, in hopes of being observed. They also shouted as long as they could retain any command over their voices. But although they were now within sight of Beaumaris, they failed for a long time to attract the notice of those on shore. At "length Miss Whittaker gave up her shawl, which being torn into large strips, was hoisted from the top of the stall; and being by this means perceived from the land, the life-boat was put off to their assistance, and succeeded in rescuing them from a watery grave. Mr. Whittaker, brother to the lady we have named, on finding that the vessel was going to pieces, stripped himself to his shirt, and on being swept away by the waves, he clung to a piece of wood, part of the wreck. He was not picked up until half-past eight. by which time he had drifted seven or eight miles to sea- ward! When Mr. Whittaker, was taken out of the water, lie had completely lost his evesight, and although it was broad daylight, he imagined that he was surrounded by the darkness of midnight. He has since, however, recovered his sight.. Up to nine o'clock Friday morning, thirty-eigiit bodies had been found. Eighteen of these were placed in the County Hall or Sessions House at Beaumaris, to await the inquest. The other twenty were on Puffin Island.—But a small proportion of those drowned were residents of Liverpool; the greater part being from Manchester, Bury, and other parts of the country. A coroner's inquest commenced sitting Friday morning at Beaumaris, at a very early hour. Witnesses have been sent from Liverpool to prove that the vessel was sea-worthy—a point re- specting which great doubts, it seems have been entertained. Mr. Rudlaud, one of the band on board the Rothsay Castle, nave already briefly adverts -lajWn SuYa'j t;y(X)Vi[ foq" they had tied themselves, ut ■uissajom overboard. They were never seen alive aftei wards. When the vessel struck and was going to pieces, Mr. Tinne, junior (of the firm of Saridbach, Linn, and Co., of Liverpool), who is an excellent swimmer, and two others stripped off their clothes, and swam to a plank that was floating in the sea, and con- trived to cling to it. He soon became insensible, and remained in that state, not having the slightest remembrance of what passed afterwards, or of the means by which he reached Beaumaris. He soon came to himself, and though much enfeebled by the injuries be sustained, and the exertions he made, we are happy to state be is now in a fair way of recovery. Another gentleman lashed himseli and his wife to a plank, and both reached the shore un- happily, however, the gentleman died almost immediately the lady, we understand, is dokng well. There was on board the steamer a party of 2G individuals, all from Bury or its neighbourhood, who were proceeding to Beau- maris and Bangor on a pleasure exeurtion. Of these ordv three have been saved. Frid-iy afternoon Mrs. Warrener, of Great Bridge-street, Man- or,ester, who had two sons on board the Rothsay Castle, proceeded to Liverpool by the railway, to ascertain their fate. On her ar- rival SJO was informed that they had both perished, together with tue chnd ot one of them, an infant of eight months. A second edition of the Carnarvon Herald states that verdicts of "•'Accidentally Drowned" have been returned by the Jury sum- moned to hold inquests on the bodies found and adds, after the verdicts were delivered in, the following letter was banded to the coroner:—. wc. Beaumaris, August 19, 1831. R' From the evidence brought before Ihein, the jury on this in- qnest-caimot separate without expressing their firm -conviction that, had !e,. V Castle been a sea-worthy vessel, an:l properly manner!, this aw u i alainity might have been averted. They, therefore, cannot disguise orT'th"'1 'e conc'nc' of those who could place such a vessel b ,ls '-ta'i<in, and under the charge of a captain and mate who have P'?v .> by the evidence brought before lhe:n, to have been in a state .IT ICATJ?U- R. W. BCLKELEY, Foreman." 10 'he Cornnpr The Liverpool Journal says there were more ° 100 persons on board, including the crew. Among these was a Mr Nuttal, of "r/' who had made up a party of 2G persons from that town on a tnp of pleasure to Bangor and Beaumaris, of which party of 26, go he and a Miss Whittaker were the only persons saved. The fol- lowmg IS hIS account of the dreadful event:—When the vessel arrived off the Floating-light, the sea appeared rough, and Mr. X arrey, of Bury, being in common with others, greatly alarmed, went down to the cabin, where the Captain was at dinner, and re- quested him to put back. His reply was, 'I think there is a great deal of rear on board, and very little danger. If we were to turn bask with passengers, it would never do,—we should have no profit. All expressed a great anxiety to turn back, but the Captain siill refused He was repeatedly asked to make signals of distress, but he declined to do so. Soon after nightfall the vessel began to fill with water, and the pumps were put to work, but still it gained on them, and the Captain was requested once more to make signals of distress. He would not make signals, neither would he hang out a light, and the result of his obstinacy was that the vessel quitted her course, and struck at 12 o'clock at night. The scene was then piteous in the extreme SO persons were at once thrown into the sea, amidst the screams of the sur- vivors, by the lurching of the vessel. When the vessel struck, the passengers rushed forward, but the captain ordered them aft, and on seeing him consult with the mate, a gentleman cried out' is all over with us; the Captain and mate are preparing to leave the vessel.' At that instant the Captain fell or stumbled over- board, and was the first person drowned. Mr. Nuttal says he was intoxicated all the way. The vessel continued whole until one o'clock, when she broke, as it were, across, and the remainder of the passengers, with the exception of those saved, were hurried into the sea. The women and children collected in a knot together, and kept embracing each other, keeping up, all the time, the most dismal lamentations When tired with crying, they lay against each other, with their heads reclined, like inanimate bodies but when the vessel went to pieces, at half-past one, the shrieks of anguish and despair were terrific and deafening. At this awful moment Mr. Nuttall was precipitated into the sea; he was en- cumbered with all his clothes, a great coat, and, in addition to these, a fine little boy took refuge on his back. He could not swim, and must have sunk, had not Providence thrown a rope in his way. He seized it eagerly, and was guided by it to a part of the wreck that adhered to the wheel of the engine. Here he found Miss Whittaker, a boy, and six others. They remained here in expectation of death until seven. In the hope of attracting notice, they hung out Miss Whittaker's shawl; and this signal having been seen from land, the life boat came off, and carried them from the wreck. Previous to her arrival the tide had carried them out to sea, and they must soon have perished, had not assistance ar- rived. Thirty-eight bodies were found along the coast between Conway, and Aber, aiid upwards of 80 persons it is supposed have- perished. The survivors, almost all, sink the recollection of their own sorrow in the untimely fate of a gentleman, his wife, and five beautiful children. The whole perished, including the servant who attended them. The children are described as having dune to the arms, legs, and other parts of their father, whu, being as it were in imprisonment, was prevented, if he had had the power, from rendering them assistance. It is said that the gentleman, seeing his approaching fate, clasped his unfortunate family in his arms, and was praying fervently to heaven when the waters closed in upon him, and he, with his little innocents, was sent into the presence of Him who knoweth all hearts.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 24.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 24. THE French papers contain little or no news of import- ance. The Messager des Chambres contains an article on the subject of the French occupation of Belgium, wholly of a pacific, conciliatory character, stating that no self-love can make the French nation desire a prolongation of their stay in Belgium beyond the necessary time, and that if they should remain there, their "reasons will besuch, that their propriety will be evident to all the world." The Dutch steamer has arrived, by which we have the Hague Paper of the 22d inst. containing two Bulletins of the army of the Prince of Orange, both dated on the 20th August. The first states, that the Prince of Orange estab- lished his head-quarters on the 18th at Eindhoven, and all the Dutch troops have returned to eastern Brabant, and on the 21st they were to be in their cantonments. In the HOUSE of LORDS, on Monday night, the Marquess of Londonderry again inquired about the Coronation, and whether the Peers might do homage ? Earl Grey again repeated his reply, that the precedent of Gaorge the Ill.'s Coronation would be followed as to Peers doing homage. -The Earl of Wicklow whether there was any truth in the rumours as to disbanding or disarming the yeomanry force of Ireland-a force which had been so useful to that country? -Earl Grey replied that it was not in contemplation to dis- band that force, but regulations respecting it were under consideration. He added,that without charging it with more faults than were chargeable upon human nature, lie by no means thought it the force best calculated for Ireland. The Marquess of Londonderry declared that, if the Irish yeomanry force were put down, the property oi sisme of their lordships would not be safe a single day. In the COMMONS, Col. De Lacy Evans presented a petition from the Deacles (who brought an action against Mr. Baring and others), setting forth that in'•various statements in the newspapers, purporting to be speeches delivered in that house, they had been much maligned, misrepresented, and injured, and praying that they might be allowed to adduce evidence at the bar of the House, to, contradict all such false and injurious representations. This led to an extended conversation, in the course of which, Mr. Hume strongly urged an inquiry, before a committee, into the allegations of the petition. The efforts to get the petition thrown out failed and it was presented, and .ordered to lie on the table. -Col. Sibthorpe expressed a hope that the government would institute an inquiry into the horrible affair of the Rothsay Castle steamer, which had occasioned such loss of life, and so much distress.—-Mr. G. Lamb replied that it was the in- tention of government so to do, and that the inquiry would be followed by an enactment, if requisite.—Sir R. Peel said it would be very convenient to many Hon. Members to know the probable time at which the House would adjourn, if it could be now stated? The Chancellor of the Exchequer re- plied that he was afraid he could only at present promise the short adjournment of the day over the Coronation.—The Irish Miscellaneous Estimates, and the discussions on the Wine Duties' Bill, followed, and occupied nearly the whole of the remainder of the evening. In the HotrSE of LORDS, last night, the Lunatics Bill passed through a Committee.—The Agricultural Labourers Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be considered by a Committee upstairs on Friday next.—The third reading of the Fraudulent Debtors Bill was then moved by Lord Wynford, 'but like all other measures compelling the Aris- tocracy to pay their debts, was negatived without a divi- sion.—Adjourned at half-past six. In the COMMONS, Mr. Alderman Thompson presented a pe- tition from the ship-owners of the port of London, complain- ing of the oppressive fees charged upon vessels upon being released from quarantine.—Several Members considered the detention of ships a sufficient hardship upon the owners, without throwing upon them the expense of the quarantine establishment.—The worthy Alderman then gave notice that he would, on Thursday next, move a resolution, declaring the inexpediency of demanding this quarantine fee.—Mr. Alderman Thompson then presented a petition from Mr. John Williams, of Cornhill, stationer, complaining of the Govern- ment Stationery-office, and praying for its abolition.—Mr. Hume would not be against receiving the petition, but he de- clared that the mode pursued by the present Ministry, in respect to the supply of stationery to the Government offices, would have the effect of saving- the country 20,0001. a year, j and still have a more beneficial effect on the paper trade than formerly.—Mr. O'Connell presented a petition from some inhabitants of Nottingham, complaining of prosecu- tions for religious opinions, and praying for the release of the Rev. Mr. Taylor.—Ordered to be printed.—The Town- Clerk of Great Grimsby attended, and was questioned why he had delayed transmitting the return of the writ.—He stated that it arose from inadvertency, and begged pardon of the House.—Ordered to be discharged.—The remainder of the evening was occupied in a wasteful discussion on some j resolutions moved by Mr, Gordon, respecting the bribery and abuse of iufluence which were proved to have taken it would appear that the h the Reform Bill. IfWf- --m/iYn possible to prevent bribery under the old state J': me franchise, the na- tion would not have united in demanding Reform; and hence the utter uselessnessof these discussions, for the Reform Bill will free society from the necessity of relying for security on the punishment of detected bribery, and therefore the punishment is useless in the way of example.—-Mr. John Wood, with much spirit, unmasked the object of the Anti- reformers. It was, he observed, a mere pretext for delay, •—The motion was lost by a majority o.f 207 to 66, or 141.— Lord Althorp declared, that were the motion to be carried, the consequence would be the recal of all persons in office in Ireland. Thus a whole night has been passed without en- tering at all on the Reform Bill. If Ministers expect by this exceeding show of courtesy and conciliation to please the Opposition, they will find themselves most egregiously "eceived. For their owu sakes, tben, as men, as statesmen, as Englishmen, as well as for the sake of the country which has made such noble efforts to procure them a triumphant jnajority, we conjure Ministers to lay aside all further lethargy; to put on a bold front; and carry the Bill promptly, .unhesitatingly, and uninterruptedly through Committee. The Lord Chancellor intimated a fortnight ago his inten- tion to adjourn for the Long Vacation on Saturday, but nnding theie were great arrears of business, he issued an order on Thursday that he should continue to sit to clear bankruptcy petitions. On coming into Court on Friday, Sir Sugden complained of his Lordship's order, as deviating rro.m t,le regular course, and expressed his determination neither to attend the Court after Saturday, nor to return the briefs which he had in hand His Lordship could not but express his sorrow at Sir Edward's absence but his regular course was to .clear the business, which he would do before the holidays!" A most singular fact was stated by Lord Milton in the ommittee on the Game Bill now passing through Parliament, ■ y> that gentlemen very seldom take out game licences, emg protected from challenge by their rank. The National tribute to Mr. O'Connell amounts (says the Dublin Morning Register) to 25,7581. 6s. 3d. The Beneveris (steamer), Cooper, from Stornaway to Glasgow, was-driven on shore on Thursday night at Cerskey, near Cample town, and it was feared would be wrecked the passengers and crew saved. THE PKOBATE DUTY.—The unjust mode of levying the probate duty is one among the many objects which require rel'orm, and the immediate investigation of the Legislature. According to the existing law, if a man die leaving 10,0001., and the debts he owed amounted to 9,0001., the duty must be paid upon the 10,0001., and the administrator compelled to wait twelce months for the re- turnable duty on the 9,0001. In many cases it may be extremely distressing, and sometimes nearly impossible, to pay the duty on the gross amount. IRON TRADE.-It is stated that, as a means of rescuing this branch of manufacture from its present state of unwonted de- pression, meetings of the iron-masters have been held in the prin- cipal districts, and resolutions,unanimously adopted for effecting a reduction to the extent of about one-fourth of the quantity made^ and that deputations met on the 10th at Gloucester, to arrange as t to the most efficient mode of carrying these resolutions into ope- ration. By these measures the quantity will he diminished about a,000 tons per week and as it is contemplated to continue the limited make for a year, there will thus be !5<'i,030 tons of iron less produced during the next twelve months. We understand that the iron trade in Scotland has participated in the general de- pression, so far as the obtainable price has not remunerated the expense ofmanutacture and the large amount of capital invested; but from the superiority of the quality, and the comparatively small quantity made, there is at present very little stock on hand.— Edinburgh Observer.

Davies, as tenant at will, and situate in the parish of Verwick, in the county of Cardigan. N. B.

If this were the case, he made a very disad- vantageous arrangement; but the purchaser of lot 1 is not, on the above account, to object to the title, but he is to have the benefit of such right as the vendor possesses to the Undivided Moiety, which is of much greater value than lot 1. }Jot. 2,-All that MESSUAGE, TENEMENT, and LANDS called PENVOIDIR, situate in the parish of Verwick, and con- slshng of 75A. 1 R, 23p., or thereabouts, and now in the occupation of Thomas David, as tenant at will.
