The authors of this valuable work have taken a very comprehensive view of the evils arising from certain pernicious habits contracted by the younn people, complaints which are, we fear, too much neglected Jy the general practitioner. The mode of treatment and cure is clearly defined in this work, which cannot fail to be read with peculiar interest by those to whom it is more particularly addressed It will prove an excellent Companion to those suffering from indiscretion and the etfect of exess.—Era. This is a work of great merit, and should be placed in the hands 01 every young man who is suffering from past folly and indiscretion. tendon Mercantile Iournal.

Humaaiy speaking, your Pills I savr-d my life Many tried to dissuade me from using them, and I doubt not but that hundreds are deterred from taking your most excel- lent medicine, in consequence of the impositions practised by many worthless wretches; but what a pity it is that the deception used by others, should be the means of preventing many unhappy persons under disease, from regaining health, by the use of your Pills. When I com- roenced the use of your Pills, I was in a most wretched condition, and to my great delight, in a few days afterwards, there was a considerable I change for the better, and oy continuing to use them for some weeks, I have been perfectly restored to health, to the surprise of all who have witnessed the state to which I have been reduced by the disordered state of the liver and stomach would to God that every poor sufferer would of the liver and stomach would to God that every poor sufferer would avail himself of the same astonishing remedy. f (Signed) CHARLES WILSON. *•* The above gentleman has been a school-master, but is now in a highly-respectable house, as commercial clerk. r A patient in a dyinq state cured of a disorder in the Chat.

I' Yours, &c., WILLIAM GILCHRIST, Apothecary and Surgeon. No medicine yet offeied to the woild ever so rapidly attained such distinguished celebrity it is questionable if there be now any part of the civilised pblie where its extraoidinary virtues have not been exhibited. This signal success is not attriouta- ble to any system ot advertising, but solely to the strong recommendations of parties cmed by their tise. The proprie- tors of Parr's Li'e Pills have now it, their possession upwards I of TWELVE HUNDUKD LEITERS, several of them from Clergymen of the Church of England, many fiom distinguished Dissenting Ministers, Iron gentlemen connected with the army I and navy, also from Members of P^jiiameDt, Merchants..and tatt, though not least, from Member* of the Medical Profession, r and a skilful Analytical Chemist: all speaking in the highest ¡t terms of the value of this inestimable medicine. This is a mass of evidence in its favour beyond all parallel. The extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus des- cribed by an eaiinent physician, who says, After particular observation of the action of Parr's Pills, I am determined in my opinion, that the following are their true properties :— i "First—They increase the strength whilst most other medi- t, cines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let any one j take from three to four or six pills every twenty-four hours, and, instead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits. and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body. "Secondly—Tn their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience J their effect; tne disease upon you will become less and less by | -every dose you take, and if you will persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will be entirely removed from the system. Thirdly—They are found, upon giving them a fair trial for a few weeks to possess the most astonishing and invigoratiog propert es and they will overcome all obstinate complaints, and restore sound health there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use, whilst their mildness as a pur- gative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and I delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to S be injurious instead of beneficial. Fourthly—As a general Family Mediciae they are exceed- ingly valuable, and no family should be without them,>they may he used with perfect safety in any disease, for to every dis- ease they are of inestimable value. John Da e,^Esq.. Man- chester, Lecturer on Chemistry, and pupil of the celebrated Dr. Dalton V R S in a letter addressed to the proprietor in London 'say', I beg to state I find them wortjiv ot being recommended to'the public for their efficacy *nvdd9;mP^ £ a°d to be really vegetable pills, containing, as Ihey do, nothing but 1 Z "f vegetable origin*' With .hi, unuuee the public need have no fear of giving them a fair riai Fifthlv—'There is no medicine ever introduced to the public that has become so universally popular "ltMer}la es.*s Parr'» Life Pills.

FRANCE. Our Paris correspondence of Sunday contains the official account of the engagements with the population of the Kabyles. and the list of the killed and wounded in the pacific promenade" cii of the Duke of lsly in Algeria. The most remaikable feature in th these despatches, which are addressed to the minister of war. is ic the sovereign contempt, amounting to superciliousness, with pC which they treat the chamber and the cabinet.

SPAIN. pr The journals and correspondence of Madrid of the 25th informs a; us that the Queen had returned to the capital on the preceding Bt day, but that the King-Consort was still at the Pardo. The a{ family of the King inhabit the royal palace -ith the Queen. It th was expected that in a few days her Majesty would hold a grand lb review of ihe troops of the garTison. The heat of the weather was so great as to produce many sudden deaths and much 01 sickness in the city. Gen. Manuel de la Concha had left Madrid to take the command of intervention on the Portugese m frontijer. 1,1 RVMOUHED DIVORCE.—The Times announces authoritatively of that the Queen of Spain has delel mined on a divorce. There are daily rumours of conspiracies produced by French bribery, When pi this was mentioned to the Queen she declared s'ie would dress pj herself in the uniform of her own regiment, lide out on horseback pi in the streets, and put herself at the head of the first battalion w she met. The opinion is that she would not fail in her attempt. th A feeling enteitained on all sides, thit France is doing her utmost to excite civil war in Spain,-either between the Queen di and her husbands partisans, or between her and any one else, with the object of stepping in. and intervening by arms. At a splendid banquet given at Aranjuez by the Queen, the minister re of war gave the health of her Majesty, to which the Queen a replied by giving The Spanish Army." On this occasion the Queen announced her intention of holding a grand review of the troops of the garrison at Madrid, on her return to the capital. 11 Private letters say that her Majesty will, on this occasion, h appear on horseback, in a general's uniform, a I'Amasone. The P announcement was received with acclamation by the military vt officers present. o

RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 18.—The minister of the interior has q addressed the following circular to the Government chiefs: — By an ordnance addressed to me by the secretary of state, his Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to command, that to provide against the exhaustion of the reserve corn magazines by the speculations which will in all probability take place this summer in corn, his Majesty desires most authoritatively to impress upon the government chiets and marshals, as they are d most responsible, to see that the quantity of corn fixed by law r( be laid up in all the reserve magazines. His Majesty the Emperor intends to appoint officers to make a tour of inspection, and in # case of any iriegularity and deviation being observed, they shall be authorised to make a judicial report to his Majesty thereof." h

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. a GREAT BATTLE AT CERRO GORDO.—The Mexicans have D been again defeated Jalapa and Perote are taken Santa Anna has fled! By the steam ship Caledonia, which arrived at Liver- pool on Sunday morning, we have received New York papers of the 15th instant. Their contents are very important. On the 17th and 181h of April the American forces under the command of General Scott, completely defeated the Mexican army, com- t manded by Santa Anna, killing 400 and taking five cenerals and t 3000 Mexican prisoners. Santa Anna fled, leaving his carriage, I his money, his plate, and even the dinner which had been p prepared for him, in the hands of the victors. The American. forces amounted to 8,178 men, the Mexican force was estimated at 14,000.

OVERLAND INDIA MAIL. It is affirmed that Lord Hardmge is about to retire from India in October. His departure will be regarded as a heavy calamity by those who consider the interests of India better served by < peace and domestic improvement than war and foreign conquest, and who look to a new administration as likely to reverse the < policy so successful tor the list three years. The Pnajaub is perfectly quiet. There has been an earthquake and some heavy falls of rain at Lahore, by which the air has been cooled, and the climate improved. The troops are getting comfortably housed, and seem contented, happy, and healthy. Sir John Littler has left for the Jullundhar Doab, on his way to Simlah he will, it is said, succeed Sir G. Pollock as military member of council, with a salary of 10,0001. a year. Goolab Singh has established a monopoly of opium, tobacco, and spirits, in Cashmere, and intimated that property of which the title is defective will be resumed by government. The people of Bunnoo and Tank have agreed to pay their taxes arrears have been remitted in con- sideration of the extreme poverty of the country. There have been disturbances at Oude of a character calculated eventually to overturn the government. The King himself is hated and despised, and hi, minister anything but popular. The burning of widows and destruction of female children has been put a stop to throughout the Rajpoot States by the exertions of the British residents. Extensive frauds by the subordinates have been discovered in the office of the collector of land revenue at Kurrachee. Sir C. Napier continues on the sea coast in the enjoyment of excellent health. The last steamer for theseason left for Scinde a week since for the next three months, the communication with the Indus by sea will be suspended. Col. Outram has been appointed resident at Baroda, in the room of Sir R. K. Arbuthnot, resigned. The salary is 4.000L a year; the appointment is the highest in the gift of government; its bestowment was unsolicited, and is sufficient evidence of the estimation in which the gallant officer-otill a captain in the army—is heid by those most competent to judge of his merits. The patronage is exercised by Mr. Clerk, who himself has earned, as he deserved, such unbounded eulogiums from Lord Ellenborough, and the other worshippers of Sir Charles Napier. Mr. H. B. E. Frere, late private secretary to Sir George Arthur -a young civilian of the highest promise-succeeds Col. Outram at Sattara. The Bishop of Madras has returned to England on sick leave, and will it is said be very speedily followed by the metropolitan Dr. Wilson, having been assured by his medical advisers that his constitution is unsuited to our climate. lie will be tempolarily succeeded in office by Dr. Carr, Bishop of Bombay, until a successor arrives from England. A hurricane of unusaal violence has just been experienced all along the Malabar coast, in which hundreds ol na ive vessels are said to have been lost. The ship Buckinghamshiie, from London to Bombay, has been dismasted by it off Vingorla; the ship Mermaid, from Bombay to China, totally wrecked near the same place. The Bombay Steam Navigation Company's ves-el Victoria has suffered very great damage, and the most serious apprehensions are enter- tained that the Sesostris may have perished at sea, she not having been heard of since her departure from Aden on the 3rd of April. We have not yet received the accounts of the expenses of Scinde, moved for by Mr. Hume on the II th of March, but find half-a-million annually set down on the Bengal return of charge in excess of income. We have the best reason for believing that in this there are so many important omissions that the apparent defalcation is about three-quarters of a million within the reai one-that our original estimate of a million and a quarter is pretty near the truth. The London papers still speak < of the army as not chargeable on Scinde, forgetting that 24,000 ( meu have been raised avowedly for the exigencies of the service ( of the Indus, Rnd that our old frontier, now in the fearot this, < has been strengthened by a third. These are facts which defy all disputation, but which not the less are concealed from, or { overlooked by, the people of England.

The time is near at hand when the return of the cowet of 1264 and 1556, signalised by Mr. Duntborne, and M. Pingre, may be exp c ed io take place. — It is Siid that a physician, in the souih of England, has dis- covered the principle of magneiic force, which explains the de. viation and dIp of the needle. Accounts from southern Germany speak of a general fall in the price of corn in the principal markets of that part of Europe; and there is every reason to believe that the decline will be lastiog. The Monarchy of England has now endured one thousand and twenty years, the three kingdoms of Northumbria, Mercia, and Westex (formed out of the Heptarchy), having merged under one supreme sovereign, Egbert, in 827. From all parts of Europe the accounts are the same-all cheer- ing in respect to the future-all holding out the promise of abundant crops. TRAP FOR EARWIGS.—Bits of refuse wool tied to the stems and stikes of dahlias are an .1f""loal pr»»cr»««i»6 against ear- wigs, and a leas unsightly one than pots on sticks. An Irish vessel at Guiana is about to bring to Ireland a large soake, with 100 young ones, each two feet long. Several ce goes of cattle have Isiely arrived from France at at Poole, in Dorsetshire, and a regular trade in cattle appears to be established between that port and the French coast.

HOUSE OF LORDS. I" FRIDAY, MAY 28. 0 Lord Portman called the attention of their lordships to the I circumstance, that the money received under the authority of the Queen's letter, for the relief of the sufferers by the fire at St. 0 John's, Newfoundland, had not been wholly so disposed of, a portion ol it having been applied to the rebuilding of the Episco- e pal Church there—complained that the money had been appro- tl priated by a committee sitting in London, instead of being appropriated by parties on ttie spot; and concluded by moving I an address to the Crown, that when her Majesty should be s advised to issue letters for a similar purpose, the object for which p the money was to be raised should be distinctly stated, aixi that j, the persons by whom it was to be appropriated should also be j natoed. The Bishop of London defended the course taken by the com. mittee the church of St. John's was destroyed by the fire, and they decided that a portion of the subscription should go in aid r of its restoration. Earl Grey stated that the working classes had received com- J pensation nearly to the amount of their losses; and as the cost of the rebuilding of the church would otherwise have fallen a principally on the shopkeepers, he thought that a good reason t why a portion of the money raised should be applied tor effecting the object as carried out by the committee. After some further discussion, the motion was agreed to. c MONDAY, MAY 31. I The Marquess of Lansdowne, in answer to Lord Brougham, ( replied that DO convention had been absolutely entered into, but r a protocol had been signed by the ministers of England, France, Spain, and Portugal, with the view, if possible, of establishing c in the latter country the consitutional rights of tht Queen and 1 her people and that no time would be lost in laying before i parliament the necessary documents illustrative of lha course which it had been thought advisable to take for the attainment ofthoaeobjectt. LM t The Army Service Bill, af'er a strone protest from the Mar. quess of Londonderry, was read a third time, and passed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRIDAY, MAY 28. The Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway (construction of docks), and the Llynvi Valley Railway Extension Bills, were read a third time. The report of the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway and Aust Ferry Bill was brought up and agreed to. After some questions had been put to and been answered by her Majesty's government relative to our interference in the affairs of Portugal, and to the reductions to be made in the number of persons engaged in the superintendence of public woiks in Ireland, Lord J. Russell moved that the order of the day be read for the House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr. Ewart moved, as an amendment, four separate resolu- tions, recommending tUe substitution of a more direct system of taxation on property for the indirect system by Customs and Excise duties now io use. In proof of the propriety of his pro- positions, he showed that four-fifths of the duties on tea, tobacco, sugar, wine, and various other commodities, were paid by the labouring classes; and that the indirect taxation to which they were thus liable, amounted to 20 per cent., or to one-fifth of the value of all the articles which they purchased. The Chancellor of the Exchequer observed, that in the course of the next session the house must deal with the income tax and then it must of necessity determine between the question of direct and indirect taxaiion. It would therefore be improper for him, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, to sav anything now as to the course which he might then pursue if be had the honour of retaining his present office. ) mi. I oke uopeu ITIII mr. JDWIII WUUIU WUUUI«»» ".CO tioo, and allow the business of the evening to proceed. Mr. W. Williams was sorry that this motion had been brought forward as an amendment on the order of the day for going into Committee of Supply, for no practical beneift could result from it. He was also sorry that Mr. Ewart bad not called attention to the wastefulness of our expenditure as well as to the amount and nature of our taxation. Colonel Sibthorp recommended the Chancellor of the Exche- quer to resign his office into the hatkdft of the last speaker, if it were only" to let the country see wh ither that geniieman, who was always dissatisfied with the management and expenditure of our finances, could transact the 1)usiness of the Exchequer better than all the eminent men vihom he was petpetually atta kiig. Mr. Ewart then declared his intention of not putting the house to the trouble of dividing, and obtained leave to withdraw his amendment. The house then resolved itself into k Committee of Supply on the Miscellaneous Estimate and Civil Contingencies. The rest of the evening was consumed in the discussion of various grants. On the house resuming, the other orders of the day were disposed of, and an adjournment took place till Mon- day last, MONDAY, MAY 31. Lord Palmerston expressed bis willingness to produce all the papers necessary for the elucidation of the course which the government had thought it proper to adopt relative to PortugaL; and hoped Mr. Hume would postpone his motion in reference to the subject, which promised to be one of so much magnitude and importance, until the papers were is the possession of the bouse, without which it was impossible it could come to a fair and satisfactory conclusion. Lord J. Russell did not intend merely to give snch papers as would suit the particular views of some honourable members, but all that were necessary for the deliberation of parliament. Mr. Hume said that documents, or no documents, he should bring the subject forward on Friday next. Lord J. Russell intimated his intention of abandoning the Ecclesiattical Commissioners Bill until next session, and ot pro- ceeding with the Hf.alih of Towns Bill on Mooday, the 14th iost., trusting there was yet time left to bring it to a prosperous conclusion in the present session. The noble lord also, in answer to Mr. J. Collett, replied that it was intended to intro- ducea bill to repeal the act for uniting the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor; and to provide for the creation of a Bishop of Man- chester, but without adding to the episcopal bench in the House of Lords. The Speaker, upou beiog called upon to give his opinion as to certain of the amendments made by the Lords to the Poor Relief (Ireland) and the Landed Property (Ireland) Bills, stated that they were direct Infringements of the privileges of the House of Commons, as interfering with money clauses. Lord J. Russell then t, stated the- nature of the amendments, and assigned his reasons why, as i egarded the Poor Relief (Ire- laod) Bill, he should not propose uo the house to press the point of privilege as against the amendments their lordships had adopted. Alter a discussion of some continuance, the other amend- ments were agreed to, on a division, by a majority of 64, the numbeis being 80 to 16. The Lords' amendments to the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill, which interfered with the privilege of the House of Com- mons, were then considered, and on the motion of the Chancel- lor of the Exchequer disagreed to. a comi-aittee being appoiured to confer with the Lords on the subject. In a committee of W ayund Means, a further sum of £ 600,000 was voted on account of the loan fund, for the relief of destitu- tion in Ireland.

ANOTHER MURDER IN TIPPERARY. Here is a sample of the latest from Tipperary :—" A roost atrocious and cold-blooded m urdcr (says the Tipperary Constitution) was perpetrated at- Gurtnahassy, near Ballin- garry, on the 3rd of May inst. The facts of the case are as follow :-The deceased, Patriick Walsh, who was about 46 years of a^e, was married to a girl named Brophy, aged 18 years, in the month of Marc :h last, and went to reside with his father-in-law, Edward B rophy. From some cause, the parties did not live happily together, and on the night above-mentioned the unfortunate deceased was murdered by his father in-law, and buried in a i jarden opposite the dwell- ing-house,from which he was subst tquenlly removed by Rich- ard Keating, another of Brophy's sons-in-law, and others, and reinterred near a stream, abo at a quarter of a mile dis- tant from the scene of the murde r. The stream being re- cently flooded, the earth which c( ivered the remains of the deceased was washed away, and tl ie body was discovered by two boys. An inquest was held be iore Mr. Ambrose Going, justice of the peace, and Mr. Pu :efoy Poe, justice of the peace, and the above facts having I )een deposed to, the jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murd ;r by strangulation. Keat- ing and Mary Brophy, wife ot the person charged as princi- pal in the murder, have been com tnitted to Bridewell; and the unnatural wife and father-in-1 tw of the deceased have fled to America."

An old woman, 70 years of age, died at Exeter a few days ago in consequence of alarm at the late riots in that city. At Barnsley there have been large supplies of potatos, of good quality, selling at Is. 3d. to Is. 6d. pEr [peck. Mr. Bailey, retires from the representation of Worcester, and will doubtless be returned for Brenonshire, Colonel Wood offering no opposition. Mr. Hardy, it iis stated, will again be a candidate. A farmer, near Retford, Nottinghamshire, having several corn stacks in his farm yard, has received an anonymous letter, statiog, that. unless he thrashes out the grain an<d puts it into market, it will be thrashed for him. A scheme is now on foot for excavating beneath the whole area of Smithfield market, in ofder to form abattoirs. The plans are nearly completed, and we understand will shortly have to be brought before parliament. A requisition to Sir R. Peiel to allow himself to be put in nomination for Birmingham is now in course of signature. The great distress prevailing in Ireland, fills all the regiments with hundreds of starving recru its.

THE TRIPLE MURDER AT MIRFIELD. The prisoners Micheal M'Cabe and Patrick Reid, under- went a long examination before the magisttates at Dewsbury on Saturday. About nine o'clock, the prisoners arrived in Dewsbury from Wakefield, in the police van, and at ten o'clock were placed at the bar of the magistrates' room, in the court-honse. Some time before the hoar named for the examination a large concourse of persons had assembled in the vicinity of the court-house. Joshua Ingham, Esq., H. W. Wickham, Esq., J. B. Greenwood, Esq., and J. Hague, Esq., were the magistrates upon the beach. Mr. Helsell, solicitor, of Middleton, near Manchester, appeared fot the prisoner Patrick Reid and Mr. Watts, solicitor, of Dews- bury, appeared on behoof M'Cabe. Both the prisoners throughout the examination appeared quite cool and collected, and paid great attention to the evidence. Evidence of similar purport to that given before the coro- ner having been adduced. Mi. Ingham asked if there were any more witnesses to produce to-day ?-Superintendent Green replied that there was no further evidence at that ume, but he believed that in a week, or at furthest a fortnight, he should be in a position to adduce further evidence. Mr. Ingham thought a fortnight too long. Mr. Hensall (Mr. Watts having declined to say anything on behalf of M'Cabe,) then addressed the bench for Reid. He said the liberty of his client was of course in the hands of the bench, but in so saying he was fully satisfied that the magistrates would take a fair and most proper view of the whole circumstances. Whatever suspicion attached to the other prisoner, he contended that none attached to his client. Between the two prisoners there was a wonderful distinction in this respect. With regard to what had been stated about the prisoner being near to the premises of the mudered per- sons on the day of the diabolical outrage, he would submit to the bench that there was nothing in that. Both men were hawkets, and both followed their avocations in that neigh- bourhood, and called at every house in the place. It had never been shown that the two prisoners ware acquaintances. That was an important fact, because they candidly confessed that if it could have been shown that the prisoners were ac- quaintances and companions, he should have bad his doubts. He complained of the prejudice that bad been raised against the prisoners, from the fact that they were Irishmen. It had long been said that poverty was a crime; but he was afraid, from what had occurred in this case, that in the estimation of some persons a man's being an Irishman was another. Yet it had not been shown that there was a previous ac- quaintance between the parties, much less an acting in con- cert, and if there had been anything of the sort it would have most certainly been brought to light by their excellent offi- cer, Mr. Green; Therefore, in the absense of all proof, he confidently contended that there was nothing to justify the committal of Reid. The prisoners were then remanded to Saturday next, and the inquiry terminated at four o'clock.

AWFUL AND COLD-BLOODED MURDER. ROTHERHAM, FRIDAY.—The quiet town of Rotherham has to-day been thrown into a state of great excitement by the perpetration of an atrocious murder, which has been committed this forenoon, between ten and eleven o clock, on the turnpike-road leading from Rotherham to Rawmarsn, a village about two miles off, on a woman who was passing on the road.. C:o1 From inquiries made on the spot, it appears IKIUL odwucl Linley, a joiner, left hit lodgings at the lourlane-ends, near Rawmarsh, between ten and eleven, and was proceeding to the Parke-gate Iron Works, belonging to Messrs Scholefield and Co., to his work, about three hundred yards off. He had not gone far before he met the deceased, Susannah Jag- ger, the wife of Benjamin Jagger, of Masborough-common, shopkeepers who was quite a stranger to him, going to Raw- marsh with some groceries. Linley held out his hand to the deceased, and asked her to shake fcaods; she refused, aud passed him. He turned round, followed her, and struck her with his fist over the back of her head, knocked her down, and got upon her, and when she attempted to rise, he struck her several severe blows on the head. He then got her shoulders between his knees, and beat her. She screamed out, and some persons who reside near and were passing, ran to her assistance but before they could get to the place, Linley was seen to take a clasp knife out of his waistcoat pocket, open it, and cut the woman's throat on its right side. Joshua Steward, of Rotherham, a cow keeper, who was passing and saw Linley commence his attack on the woman, ran to them, and when he had got up, the ruffian was cutting at the woman's throat with the knife; he did not even desist when Steward got there, but the latter pulled him off the woman, and some other persons coming to the place, the man was secured, and the knife taken from him. The poor wo- man was bleeding profusely, the assassin having separated the jugular vein. Medical aid was immediately sent for, but tong before any could arrive the poor woman had breathed her last, she having died a few minutes after receiving the injuries. Linley, on being asked why he did it, replied, 1 have made a bad job of it," and that drink had done it. He was not, however, drunk at the time, but had been drinking for some days previous. Information of the occurrence was immediately conveyed to Mr. Badger, of Rotherham, coroner for this district, who went and inspected the scene of the murder, and ordered the man, whom he found in custody, to be removed to Ro- therham goal and cerefully watched, where he now remains to await the coroner's inquest, which is to be held on the body to-morrow forenoon. The murder having been committed in the middle of the forenoon, and within one hundred yards of several houses and a very public highway, and without any provocation or apparent motive, has caused the utmost consternation, and leaves no doubt but that the perpetrator of it must at the time have been labouring under IDsaDity.-Sun.

AWFUL ATTEMPT TO MURDER. A schocking and most extraordinay attempt was made on Thursday morning, by an old woman in Hulme, to murder her son-in-law, while asleep in bed, by cutting his throat. The name of the woman is Elizabeth Jackson, and her daughter and son-in-law, Thomas Royle, lived with her, at No. 43, Caton-street, Hulme. Jackson is a married woman, but separated from her husband. She slept in the same room with her son-in-law and daughter, and at an early hour went to the bedside of the young couple, who have only been married nine months, and leaning over the body of her daughter, with a large table knife cut the throat of Royle,and who, as well as his wife was fast asleep; Fortunately the knife was not very sharp, and the young man was awoke by its passing across his throat before a sufficiently deep incision had been affected to prove fatal. He put out his hand to save himself, when lh. cod of one of his fingers was nearly cut off, and the sprang out of bed, and ran into an adjoining house for help. The prisoner, in the course of yesterday morning, was brought up for examination at the Borough Court, when the following evidence was given :— Thomas Royle said he was the prisoners son-in-law, hav- ing married her daughter in October last. The prisoner slept in the same room with him and his wife. The pri- soner went to bed first on Wednesday night, about ten o'clock, and he and his wife followed shortly after.- No ill-words or quarrel had taken place, but they had all been comfortable; Thursday morning, shortly before six o'clock, he was awoke by feeling something drawn across his throat, and on looking up, saw the prisoner leaning over i »e bed with the knife now produced in court in her grasp, w tc she was drawing backwards and forwards across his throat. His wife was asleep. He immediately seixe hold of the prisoner's hand, and called upon his wife, but the P did not desitl. Sh. "d fingers while he was attempting 10 eeP frnn» his throat.

She answered, I hardly know what I'm do- intr I'm sure, for he only wants to get nay property from me, and'won't wait till my death." The knife produced in court was very bluat, but of largt size, and the wound inflicted ou Royle's throat was from two to three inches in length, but not very deep. The sur- IgeoR, Mr. J. Foster, Medlack-sueet, who bad examined the wound, was not present, and ultimately the case was remanded, that his evidence might be obtained.— ter Timtu
